Developing a Habit of Writing

Darin Knapp, Center for Faculty Excellence

We’ve all heard that a key to successful writing is to develop a habit of it: to engage in writing as a routine that is practiced regularly. In this workshop, we’ll consider development of a writing habit from theoretical and practical perspectives. Topics will include:

• Why Develop a Habit of Writing?
• Writing Habits of Contemporary and Historical Writers
• Developing a Habit of Writing: What Can Psychology and Neurobiology Tell Us?
• Developing a Habit of Writing: Barriers and Strategies for Overcoming Them
• Creating Your Individualized Plan for Developing a Habit of Writing
