We’re coming up on the end of the quarter, and I’d imagine some of us (i.e. – me) are trying to not to think about all of those papers due in just a few short weeks. As a result, I decided to devote this week’s tip to writer’s block.
What is writer’s block?
Writer’s block is the inability (or extreme difficulty) to produce new work. The term primarily applies to professional writers, but many people experience writer’s block. Read more

Students, Faculty and Staff,
What would you do if you thought a friend or colleague was involved in an abusive relationship? What if someone in your workplace or classroom regularly got his way using belligerence and intimidation? Or what if a co-worker or fellow student became repeatedly frustrated, withdraw, or expressed desperation?
Navigating relationships can be challenging, especially when you become concerned about someone’s well-being or perhaps your own safety. We fear saying something might make others feel uncomfortable or make them angry, and reporting a problem might get them, or us, in trouble. No one gets in trouble for calling and asking; in fact, many people get connected to resources they need that help us all maintain a safe personal, work, and learning environment.
If you find yourself wondering if you should do something, it is worth a call to SafeCampus. Calls are answered by staff specially trained to receive such reports and to provide referrals to UW services.
The Safe Campus telephone numbers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can learn more about Safe Campus online: www.uw.edu/safecampus (Seattle), www.uwb.edu/safecampus (Bothell) and www.tacoma.washington.edu/safe campus (Tacoma)
