Your Imperfectionist pal here has lost count of the times she's recommended Joli Jensen's mind-bogglingly helpful book, Write No Matter What, to struggling, anxious academics. So, Joli was the perfect (sorry) choice for this podcast's very first guest interview! She's here to tell you about: - The damaging myth that academia is a writing-supportive environment- How adopting a 'craftsman' approach to writing can make it less stressful, and even pleasant- Three 'taming techniques' that you can use to develop a consistent, sustainable approach to writing- How our obsession with productivity is hurting us, and what we should do instead... and lots more. It's a long one, friends, so get comfortable, bring snacks, and enjoy!Joli Jensen is Emerita Professor of Media Studies at the University of Tulsa.
