Jumpstart Your Summer: Find Your Purpose, Reconnect with Your Writing

Time: May 6, 2022, 9 a.m. - noon

Location: virtual

Michelle Thompson (Resistant Vision)

As spring semester winds down, it’s time to reconnect with our passion as writers. COVID-19 continues to fundamentally reorganize our lives and impact research: many of us are burned out, professionally and personally, and feel scattered, overwhelmed, or disconnected from our writing.

This workshop provides some structured time to: reflect on and recenter your purpose; align your writing practices and larger goals; and prioritize writing needs without resorting to binge-bust writing cycles that only further deplete your resources. In addition to addressing sustainable writing habits, writing prompts will help participants turn to their summer research in a purpose-driven, realistic way that recognizes what is doable in the present.

Thompson also presents "Tools for Tackling Imposter Syndrome" on April 29.
