Managing [Academic] Writing Anxiety
Last night after I finished my nightly dissertation writing, I checked on the #Write2014 crew on twitter. Shortly after that, myself, Amanda Michelle and others began [I think] a really useful conversation about managing academic writing anxiety. Although I think that these writing strategies make sense for all types of writers, for those of us in the midst of writing dissertations and thesis’, or even folks currently working on a book project, I think these strategies are especially useful.
So rather than re-[write] the wheel, I decided to try something new and create my first storify.
It includes our entire conversation, as well as some additional notes by yours truly, about writing, anxiety and just getting your work done. Check out the storify, leave a comment or tweet us, and let us know what you think [or if you have any questions].
peace.
