Resources she'd recommend to students? The @humecenter Dissertation Boot Camp! In @LauraALyman's own words, "I got to lead daily discussions on topics like procrastination, perfectionism, and maintaining motivation through setbacks."

Inspiration is often romanticized, but habit is more dependable. Octavia E. Butler says, "Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice." #WedWritingInspo

Is the thought of writing of a paper too intimidating? Take breaks! Write for a few minutes, then take a break. Studies show that our focus only lasts for a certain amount of time. Thanks for the tip, Kathryn! Best of luck, all!
