Strategies for Enhancing 'Flow' in Your Academic Writing: 5 Part Blog Series

We are proud to announce the start of a five-part series on this blog that addresses one of the most commonly asked-about topics here in the Walden U Writing Center: How do I make my writing flow?

Two years ago, Writing Instructor extraordinaire Beth wrote a post for the Writing Center blog on the topic of creating flow. We knew our readers were interested in understanding and practicing these important skills, but we had no idea how quickly Beth's post would reach Greatest Hits status. Since that time, "Five Ways to Create Flow" continues to be one of our most viewed posts, our Instructors and Editors continue to receive questions related to flow, and our WritingSupport@waldenu.edu inbox continues to fill up with requests for more instruction on flow.

With that in mind, it is with great excitement that we announce our upcoming blog series. Starting on Monday, June 27th, we will revisit Beth's post and go into much greater detail about each of the five strategies cited in the post. For tips on how to enhance your writing's flow by using these strategies, click each link below to check out each part in our series:

• Create Logical Connections
• Use Topic Sentences
• Transition with Words, Sentences, and Paragraphs 
• Write With Concise Prose
• Vary Sentence Structure

Stay tuned. And let us know how we can help you become a better writer.
