Academic Writing Amplified

What do you do with those writing projects that keep hanging around in your publication pipeline, but you never work on them? I call these Zombie Projects, and they are holding you back from submitting more papers. 
In this episode, I explain what zombie projects are, why they are clogging your pipeline, and what to do about them.

Why do projects get stuck? This summer I developed new curriculum around this question, and on today's podcast I'm sharing a concept from that new curriculum: transition friction.
Many stuck writing projects can be explained by the resistance we feel transitioning from one phase of the project to another.
In this podcast you will learn:
Why transition points cause friction.
How to get over the friction to keep your writing project moving.
How embracing the discomfort of transition friction can liberate you from feeling stuck.
