Oftentimes, the writing process can feel like a lonely, monumental task. To make writing feel less daunting, graduate writers may be looking for sources of support and strategies to work more efficiently or get the process started.

These vidcasts introduce small interventions that may make writing more enjoyable—or at least more achievable. With strategies like “Life Mapping,” SMART goal setting, as well as motivational productivity methods, sources of writing support, and recommendations for requesting writing feedback, we hope graduate writers will feel empowered as they work on any writing task.
