Faculty Writing in Community Continues this Fall
This message has been approved by Dr. Janet Kistner, Vice President for Faculty Development and Advancement, for distribution to all faculty and staff.
From August 22 - December 9, FSU faculty will have daily opportunities to write in community. A small and varied group of faculty wrote in community during Summer 2022. They report finished projects, progress on research, and a sense that they are seen and supported by others walking a similar path. Consider joining our community.
Peggy Wright-Cleveland from the Office of Faculty Development and Advancement will host two Fall writing groups, one early morning and one mid-day, both open to faculty in any career stage. You may participate at any stage of the writing process and with any writing project (syllabus, article, grant proposal, book chapter, etc.). We gather, share our goals for the day's session, and write. Before we leave, we report on our progress.
Both sessions will be hosted on Zoom. Drop-ins are welcome, but the practice is most effective when faculty make a regular commitment. Daily, weekly, or bi-weekly, the frequency of writing matters less than the commitment to a regular schedule. Reserve some of your precious Fall semester hours to face your writing tasks and join us.
Morning Writing for Early Risers: 6:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m., EDT, Monday - Friday ZOOM LINK
Mid-day Writing for Regular People (or late nighters): 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., EDT, Monday - Friday ZOOM LINK
