If you happen to be counting, we’ve just hit week 6 of the semester–and we’re closing in on midterm (already!). While you’re likely starting to feel a bit in the weeds as the midterm assignments begin to roll in, you may have also been inspired by last Friday’s mini-symposium to find ways to keep your scholarly agenda moving forward even in the heat of the semester. If so, I hope you’ll join our October UR Writing Challenge, which starts this Wednesday. For the entire month of October, we’ll support each other as we integrate regular writing practice into our busy semester. There will be three writing retreats (October 1, 10, and 30) during the month of the Challenge, and some exciting prizes for participants.
Even if you don’t have time for the Writing Challenge this semester, please do consider joining us for a retreat, exploring the on-campus writing resources to help support your scholarship, or visiting the community pages of the NCFDD for additional support. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me (kmaynard@richmond.edu) for a chat!
