With Fall Break behind us and the end of the semester in sight, it is an appropriate time to offer gratitude to those who have helped with your writing journey and gratitude to yourself for what you have accomplished along the way.

A writing project of any kind can seem daunting, and many people choose to have an accountability buddy or group to keep them on track. Reflect on who has helped hold you accountable this semester for your writing projects and consider thanking them for their support.

Thank yourself for the incredible work you have done this semester. Whether you finished several writing projects, worked on one big writing project, have a piece in publication, or attended a symposium for your work, you have accomplished so much. The drafts and revisions you have worked tirelessly on have resulted in perfected works that you should be proud of.

Finally, thank you to you all for engaging in CSU Writes events, workshops, and retreats! If you attended any of CSU Writes events this semester from citation management to writing retreats to show up and write sessions, we value your appreciation and feedback so that we can improve our office’s offerings. We have enjoyed providing you opportunities to work on and enhance your writing endeavors and look forward to the spring semester with another great line up of events and workshops. We hope to see you then!
