Do you feel like you are behind on your summer writing goals? You're not alone, and you're not failing. It's time to normalize readjusting your summer writing plans without shame.

In this episode, I guide you through a midsummer writing check-in. This flexible process will help you reassess your academic writing goals and realign them with your current capacity. Whether you mapped out a detailed summer writing plan back in May or are just now trying to make progress, I will walk you through how to revisit your calendar, evaluate your remaining time, and match it with what's left on your writing to-do list. Re-planning isn't a failure; it's a core skill that every academic writer needs to learn.

Tune in to learn how to move from unrealistic expectations to a sustainable academic writing progress without burnout, shame, or overwhelm.
