    Today, I am continuing the podcast series about writing practices in academia. In this episode, I'm digging into five things that you learned about academic writing that are wrong and what you can do to fix them.  These misconceptions—like believing you need to "binge and bust" your writing or that you must write every day—are often a result of how we're socialized in academia. I'll explain why these methods are unsustainable for professors, especially once you're juggling teaching, research, and life responsibilities. Instead of focusing on speed or rigid daily writing routines, I'll share strategies that help you find a writing flow that works for you without burning out or feeling like you're falling behind. If you're ready to challenge these outdated writing myths and create a more sustainable and effective writing practice, this episode is for you. I'll guide you through rethinking your approach to writing, showing you how small, strategic changes can boost your productivity and impact in the field. By creating a writing process that aligns with your unique needs and goals, you'll be able to make meaningful progress in your publications and feel more confident and in control of your academic work.

    [Writing Practice Series] Your Publishing Problem Is NOT Time [RE-RELEASE BONUS]

    Are you blaming lack of time for your backlog of publications? In this segment of the podcast series on writing practices, I explain why your publishing problem isn’t time. It’s a lack of discernment. I discuss how academia breeds a scarcity mindset and why the pressure to do as much as possible hinders our ability to move projects through to publication. Instead of trying to work on every idea that comes to mind, I suggest adopting a more strategic approach to project selection by leveraging your academic mission statement. By embracing the natural ebb and flow of your career, you can overcome the binge-and-bust cycle and develop a more sustainable relationship-based writing practice. If you’re ready to clear your pipeline and get your work out into the world, remember: it’s about intentionality and strategic planning, not just finding more time. Tune in to learn how to reshape your approach to publishing so that it aligns with your career goals.

    [Writing Practice Series] Making A Date With Your Writing [RE-RELEASE EP 65]

    Welcome to another segment of the podcast series about writing practices and establishing sustainable writing habits in academia. Today, I am discussing how to make and keep a writing date.  As a scholar, you juggle many responsibilities, and it can be challenging to say no when things come up that interfere with your writing date. We allow these "urgent" requests to overshadow the importance of your writing. There will always be something or someone pulling at our time, and we need to learn how to say "no" and prioritize our writing practice. I share strategies to help you build a consistent writing practice by scheduling writing dates in small time blocks during your most productive time of the week. I also emphasize the importance of self-accountability and strengthening your time and project management skills. Finally, I explain how professional development can help establish boundaries around your time and give your writing the importance it deserves. If you struggle to make and keep writing dates, this episode is for you.

    [Writing Practice Series] What Makes A Writing Practice Sustainable? [RE-RELEASE EP 21]

    I have worked with many academic women and nonbinary, and a recurring challenge about their writing is that no matter what habits or methods they try, their writing practice is never sustainable. The problem is that sustainable practices are a moving target. Writing habits you relied on during grad school no longer work as you juggle the demands of faculty life, including teaching, committee work, and personal responsibilities.  Today's episode kicks off the new podcast series about writing practices. I discuss what makes any practice and life change sustainable. Through insights inspired by life coach Brooke Castillo, I emphasize how our thoughts influence our feelings, which in turn shape our actions and results. Then, I guide you through a reflective exercise to identify negative thoughts about your writing and work toward replacing those with positive affirmations.  By changing your mindset, you can create a healthier relationship with your writing and foster a more sustainable writing practice.

    [Emotions And Writing Series] Working Through Overwhelm [RE-RELEASE EP 13]

    Today’s episode is a re-release of episode 13 of the podcast.  Listen in as I discuss how our jobs as professors are designed to pull us in different directions, making it hard to focus on one thing. Simultaneously working on multiple projects is the default nature of working in academia. When we struggle to manage competing priorities, we experience a perpetual cycle of guilt and overwhelm. In today’s episode of the ‘Emotions and Writing’ series, I dive into dealing with overwhelm and its impact on academic writing. I review the characteristic signs of overwhelm in academia and offer techniques to combat and overcome overwhelm so you can get your writing practice back on track.  Professors, especially female and non-binary scholars, hold themselves to incredibly high standards. This internal pressure, combined with institutional pressure to publish, creates unrealistic expectations. Combatting overwhelm means lowering the bar to realistic standards, planning in advance, and giving yourself grace. If overwhelm is holding back your writing and publications, tune in for practical techniques and strategies to break free from the cycle of overwhelm and start building a positive, sustainable relationship with writing.  For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast/237.   CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Our 12-week Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap® program helps tenure-track womxn and nonbinary professors to publish their backlog of papers so that their voice can have the impact they know is possible.
