DESCRIPTION OF VIRTUAL WRITING GROUP
We invite you to join this virtual community of UAA scholars who support and encourage each other to achieve their writing goals. Each session emphasizes accountability and utilizes time-blocking in order to help scholars focus and write productively. Each scholar sets a writing goal, which is shared in the group chat. Writing goals may include daily word counts, completing chapters, submitting work to publications, or anything else related to writing. Staying on track is made easier by group accountability
