Having trouble getting started or focusing on your research assignment that's due soon? Feeling isolated and unmotivated?
This retreat might just be the difference you need. The goals of a writing retreat are to help you make progress on a writing assignment, learn writing strategies that can help with productivity for future assignments, and just feel good about writing. What happens at a retreat? Basically, everybody writes, with some useful and supportive structures. Here's what we'll do:
- Write down your goal for the retreat as you come in
- Warm-up fun free-write (NOT about the assignment!) to help you feel positive and ready to write
- 2 x 20-minute writing sessions with a 5-minute break in between for chat
- Celebrate what you accomplished
If you have any questions, please email Dr. Sarah King: sd.king@utoronto.ca.
Note: Open retreats will happen weekly this semester, in-person, on Tuesdays (12pm - 1pm) and Wednesdays (1pm - 2pm) in AC221. Register for each retreat separately on CLNx.
