The Virtual Writing Room is a minimally structured, bi-weekly service for faculty and academic staff at UHM. The purpose of the Writing Room is to provide regularly scheduled time to work on your writing project in the quiet company of others.

You may choose whether to leave your video on for the companionship of others, or turn your video off but stay in the room. 

Bring a snack, make progress on your project, and enjoy this virtual community of UHM writers! Come and go as your schedule allows.

The format of the Virtual Writing Room will be:

  • 5-10 mins of mindfulness practices
  • Writing with a clear aim
  • Reflecting on your progress

Fall 2024 Virtual Writing Room Kickoff with Prof. Georganne Nordstrom, Department of English:

Write, Revise, Repeat: Making Writing Part of Your Practice

Monday, September 9, 2024
1:30 pm – 3:30pm
Online Event

While not always foregrounded when we think of the writing mandate tied to our jobs, our attitude toward writing plays a significant role in its production. How do we keep that UHM Writing Center slogan, “Write, Revise, Repeat,” central in our professional practice? The first hour of this virtual writing room time will be structured as a workshop with Prof. Nordstrom discussing different aspects of the writing process—from getting started to writer’s block—and facilitating interactive activities designed to move writing projects forward and keep our relationship with writing positive. During the second hour, attendees will have quiet time to write.


This event is co-sponsored by the Department of English and the OFDAS Faculty Mentoring Program (FMP).
