You're Not Alone

For many, the writing process can be isolating with a lot of self-sabotage from the inner critic. Perhaps the following describes you:

you start a project but do not finish it
you have procrastinated and now the anxiety to complete the project is overwhelming
maybe the semester was so wild that you didn't have time to write
some life events happened and you felt distracted from writing
you feel forced to keep parts of you hidden, compartmentalized, or else your work and you won’t be accepted in your field/academia.
you’re frustrated with the expectation of doing status-quo work because your field doesn’t support culturally-situated work.
you are drained from struggling with belongingness and impostor syndrome issues in academia.
you feel numb, on days when it seems like you’re in a rut, surrounded by hostile forces, just trying to survive.
you feel unsure of your researcher/scholar identity/voice is or if it is making a difference.
you’re inundated by all the options in qualitative inquiry, and unsure about what is the best approach for your work
you’re concerned that your writing is flat and sterile but hesitate to experiment with other forms of writing, because you worry that you’ll lose credibility in your field, and won’t be taken seriously
there are days that you are so depressed and depleted by anxiety that you cannot even write a word, let alone do research.
you’re exhausted from people’s criticism of “You have an agenda,” when you’re doing research, especially when everyone has a research agenda, but they don’t like yours, because you’re challenging status quo

Our Time Together

What will we do together?

Goal Setting

In our first meeting you will set a goal for what you will accomplish during the next three months. You will break down your goal into four developmental draft submissions spread out over 8-weeks. Developmental drafts could be outlines, notes, chapters, manuscripts, etc. You will identify an area where you need more skill building and Dr. Bhattacharya will create a customized workshop based on your specific learning needs. You will also identify ways to hold yourself accountable for completing your writing tasks.

Synchronous Meetings

Join us for an enriching journey of professional growth in our weekly 2-hour synchronous meetings, scheduled as mentioned on this page. These sessions are a blend of insightful feedback on your submitted writing and dynamic workshops tailored to your professional development needs. Every alternate week, you'll experience customized professional development workshop focusing on a new skill to elevate your writing prowess. In the intervening weeks, you'll receive live in-depth, personalized feedback on your work. This balanced approach ensures continuous learning and improvement, making each session an invaluable step in honing your writing craft.

Pedagogy

During our time together you will receive community support, peer insights, hands-on activities, and direct feedback from Dr. Bhattacharya on your written work. This, in and of itself, is worth its weight in gold. You will also have time to discuss the feedback you received and ask questions to ensure you have 100% clarity.

In the End

By the time we finish our eight weeks, you will have a better understanding of how you want to cultivate your writer identity, neutralize your inner critic, create strategies for navigating your stuck places, and develop habits of writing that will keep you on track for what you want to accomplish while maintaining workalike balance and disrupting toxic productivity culture to prevent burnout and fatigue.

Let's do this!
