We’re speaking with University of North Carolina-Greensboro psychology professor and author of How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Writing, Paul Silvia. We humanities folks tend to overthink things, including about the reasons that writing isn’t going well. But what if the solutions to our writing problem are more simple than we realize? Silva studies the psychology of creativity and motivation, and he shares some excellent insight and advice for moving forward when we’re feeling some despair or frustration about our academic writing.
