"Having that designated, quiet, interruption-free time was very helpful, and I made more progress on my manuscript this summer because of that blocked time."

"I found it to be very valuable to participate in the Writing Accountability Group, both because it encouraged me to set aside time for writing and because joining a group where my desired behavior was the norm made it easier to make writing a habit. Having a dedicated time and space to write outside of my office also helped me to avoid distractions and interruptions, and I enjoyed hearing about other participant’s projects and work strategies! I highly recommend it."

"I really appreciate the time I was able to spend writing this summer. It was likely more time spent and a lot more accomplished than I would have done on my own without the encouragement. So thank you for creating the space and the positive environment."

"As an administrator on a 12-month appointment and a father who is very involved with his children, finding time to write on my manuscript is very difficult. I have found that TILT’s Writing Accountability Groups are a terrific opportunity to help me keep making progress despite all the time constraints that I have!"

"For nearly two years I’ve attempted to complete a journal submission. However, without regularly scheduled times and non-negotiables for using that time to write, the project was continually pushed to the side. During the Writing Accountability Groups this past semester, I accomplished more in 8 weeks than all of the two years combined. The project is nearly ready for submission to the journal. This is in large part to the dedicated writing time but also to the accountability of the group members. Knowing I had others interested in my progress kept me on task.”

"The group really helped support my writing productivity and routine, and I enjoyed the camaraderie of being in a group of writers and seeing everyone progress in their various projects."
