246: [Writing Practice Series] Two Writing Practice Extremes And Why They Don’t Work [RE-RELEASE EP 183]

Welcome back to another segment of the podcast series about writing practices. Today, I discuss two extreme writing practices: writing every day and binge writing. 

If you've been struggling with your publication pipeline, chances are you've tried one of these methods. While it might sound logical that writing daily or cramming during off-times will help you reach your publication goals, it won't. I break down why these approaches ultimately fail and how you can build a more sustainable, relationship-based writing practice that supports your academic career.

I hope this episode helps you rethink your approach to academic writing and inspires you to start building a more positive relationship with your writing so you can get your unique message out into the world.
