An Academic's Life

33. Working on my Promotion Materials and Creating an Ebook


Listen Later

I am currently neck-deep in promotion material writing/organzing (due September 6), but I was inspired to do a little creative writing with an ebook! In this episode I reflect on how my promotion material writing and the ebook adventure have been retraining my brain away from deadline freak outs and internal criticsm. Without giving away what I've learned, I've found that desensitization works really well for me in these particular contexts. 

If you want to check out my ebook (on Kindle and as a print-on-demand), feel free. This is me-in-action learning new (non-academic) things and practicing not being perfect -- both things I need to keep working on. How am I supposed to learn new skills and retrain my brain away from the imposter syndrome if I don't challenge myself?

Happy listening!
