October UR Faculty Writing Challenge
October is for writers! For the month of October, you can join colleagues across campus to observe a daily writing practice, committing to writing at least 30 minutes a day, recording your progress, and supporting other writers. Modeled after the NCFDD writing challenges, this challenge for UR faculty is a great way to jumpstart your writing and establish good writing habits. Its approach can be especially helpful for writing during the semester when finding the time to write becomes increasingly difficult. Sign up here!
