The Beginning of the End of Summer- Time to Think About Goals

As the new new academic year is soon upon us, it is time to makes certain we have our writing goals established for the coming academic year.

Here are a few questions to help you work toward working on or evaluating your writing goals.

1. What new scholarship do you want to produce and publish this year?
2. What obstacles might you face that could get in your way?
3. What new skills do you wish to develop that will facilitate your writing goals?
4. What methods will you use to achieve this goals?
5. If you dared to “dream big,” how would your goals look different?

Don’t just think about these question and have a plan in your head. Do some free writing, and then commit your goals to a written plan. Share you plan with others to increase your sense of accountability.
