Writing Accountability Group

Mon, 7 Oct 2024 12:00 PM - Mon, 28 Oct 2024 1:30 PM

Scholarly productivity can be fostered through participation in a writing accountability group which encourages and supports the cultivation and completion of writing projects. This writing accountability group will help participants set goals, receive feedback, and celebrate success with colleagues from across campus.

Over the course of one month, participants will meet virtually on four Mondays for a block of time to hold each other accountable. Participants will commit to being present for these four, 1.5-hour time blocks on these dates (with flexibility for beginning and end times). Additionally, participants will interact virtually with one another throughout the week with check-ins, questions, and the opportunity to share writing difficulties and tips.

Simply stated, writing is easier with encouragement and accountability. Why not try something new to enhance writing productivity?
