Scholarly Writing Inventory Response

I like writing, so I don't feel bad about doing it or about reading it after I've done it.  I'm not, however, always crazy about revising according to journal editors' feedback.  I feel OK as a researcher, about the responses I get in the field, and about my abilities to organize an article, especially after teaching my grad students about how to structure each section of their proposal.  I'm fine in Mechanics, Citation, and Accessing Help, too.

My most problematic responses though reflect that I don't write on a regular basis, as this past semester, my main function has been to get my two dissertation students to finish.  Thank goodness they don't have writer's block but because they DO write frequently, I was always responding to chapters and job materials.  When my last student finishes this summer,  I should have more time next semester for my own work.  And since my grandkids are in Ecuador for the summer, I'll have more time to work at home as well.
