YES!: “Just Do It! Writing, Submitting, Revising, and Yes: Getting Published”

Tips for writing during early career development – and beyond. You are not alone in coming to the realization that writing is hard work. Don’t believe anyone who says otherwise, but also don’t let it dissuade you from giving it a shot. You may not know it, and someone early in his or her career may not believe it, but the fact is that someone wants to read your work, and there is a home for it out there. Only one thing is for certain: if you don’t get started and give it a real try, then your work will never be published. Writing is hard work, but it is also a skill you can learn and one that gets better with practice and time. In this session I will try to persuade you that there are steps you can take to make the process more efficient, more hopeful, more likely to succeed, and, if nothing else, more bearable.
