232: [Emotions And Writing Series] How You Feel About Writing Is Important

Academic Writing Amplified

I am launching a new podcast series,' Emotions and Writing.' In this series, we will cover the most common emotions people struggle with when writing in their academic careers. After the strong response to our episode, 'You Can't Write When You're Mad,' I was inspired to delve deeper into how emotions influence writing practice.

In today's episode, we discuss the significance of recognizing and addressing your emotions and their impact on your writing. Writing is inherently emotional, and it's difficult to write academic papers when feeling stressed, sad, or overwhelmed. Acknowledging these emotions and understanding their effects humanizes the academic experience.

After discussing the effects of emotions on writing, I outline the topics we'll tackle throughout this series and encourage you to think about how you want your writing practice to feel. Join me on the journey of intentionally creating positive feelings about your writing practice, so you can build the career you want, be more inspired, and maintain a flowing publication pipeline.
