Who? Faculty of any type as well as any staff who want to get a significant amount of writing done in the fall. What? A sit-down-and-write group, also known as a shut-up-and-write group, made possible by Faculty Affairs, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and the CTLD. The first 20-30 minutes will feature goal-setting, accountability, and productivity exercises and discussions. The last 90 minutes (MINIMUM) will be us writing. That’s right (write!): participants will write on their own projects, supported and inspired by the writing of others. When? Thursday afternoons from 2-4, beginning 8/29 and continuing through 12/5 Where? The kick-off will be on 8/29 in the CTLD with remote participation possible. All meetings will be hybrid, so you can show up in person or online. Why? Tons of research on writing productivity supports the idea that writing in community (also known as body doubling) is a powerful strategy for getting more writing dwone. You’ll get accountability and a sense of shared purpose.
