It’s a Journey: The Pleasures of Academic Writing

The Fika Crew talks about scholarly writing — the process, discipline and activation, joy and pleasure, technology, and success. If you've ever felt you were in a writing rut, you're not alone!  Kristin, the mastermind behind the Rx Writing Challenge, guides us through a discussion about our writing habits.

• Introductions and Fika Sharing from 0:00 to 2:10
• Our conversation about scholarly writing starts at 2:11
