In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I discuss the emotionally charged nature of writing and the systemic barriers that often hinder consistent writing progress. I share my experiences with overcoming these obstacles during my time in grad school and introduce the concept of a “gentle writing retreat.” With a focus on compassion and realistic goal-setting, I outline how to structure a supportive and effective writing retreat, whether solo at home or with a group virtually or in-person. You'll learn about how to set realistic goals, preparing materials in advance, and the importance of community and accountability. I also announce my upcoming two-day virtual retreat aimed at helping first-gen students and professionals make significant progress on long-term projects in a supportive environment.
