Writing Refuge

Are you having difficulty finding a dedicated time to write? Are distractions consuming your calendar and focus? Is it time to reconnect with overlooked projects?

The Lydia M. Olson Library hosts a weekly Writing Refuge for NMU faculty members to disengage from their environment and focus on a writing goal. When NMU's campus is open, members gather in a room, disconnected from the internet, to write in collective silence. Since the campus is closed, the Writing Refuge has moved online. While we cannot provide a physical space away from your home, we still offer a community atmosphere and a sense of accountability. 

Participants have been impressed with the progress they have made. Try it for yourself and enjoy Dr. Anna Zimmer's guided yoga breaks! Contact Mollie Freier (mfreier@nmu.edu) for more information.
