30 Days of #AcWriMoments
In days of yore, #AcWriMo (Academic Writing Month) was all about word counts, timers, and quantitative assessment of your writing progress. Our 30 Days of #AcWriMoments Challenge offers a kinder, gentler alternative to that kind of productivity-pushing writing jag. These 30 beautiful prompts, curated by Helen Sword and Margy Thomas, have been created by writing scholars, coaches, consultants, and editors whose approaches honor the connection between your intellect and the whole human being that you are. Read more about #AcWriMoments here, and meet all 22 contributors here.
