Overcoming Writing Blocks and Procrastination

This course will provide information, guidance, and strategies for writers who would like to improve their writing productivity. Students will learn about the different forms of writing blocks, how to assess their own issues, and a number of approaches to making positive changes. Each class will include a presentation on a specific aspect of writing productivity, small group discussions, and exercises designed to promote better writing habits and self-awareness. This course will be useful to writers of all types, genres, and skill levels, as we will focus on the process of writing, not the content or style of what is written. Reading materials for the course will include a workbook written by the instructor, several articles, and a list of recommended texts.
