University Writing hosts workshop on writing anxiety on Sept. 9

University Writing is inviting students, faculty and staff to attend its Mindfulness Strategies for Writer’s Block and Writing Anxiety workshop on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 2-3:30 p.m. via Zoom. A limited number of in-person seats will also be available. Participants who attend the workshops in-person will be required to follow established health and safety guidelines.

This workshop is for anyone who feels anxious about writing, struggles to start writing, or regularly loses focus mid-project. Participants will learn about mindfulness, or moment-to-moment awareness, and its benefits for managing writer’s block and writing anxiety. Strategies such as meditative pauses, regular progress tracking and reflective journaling will help participants learn to center their minds before writing, recognize anxiety when it arises, and track the sources of writing challenges. Come prepared to work on a writing project and put mindfulness strategies into practice.
