The Write Habit

From Stuck Writer to Cambridge Professor: Interview with Claire Benn, 90-Day Write Habit Accelerator Alumni

Dr Nicole Janz

In this conversation, I sit down with Claire Benn, a Write Habit Accelerator alum, to trace her journey of finishing: 

Showing up when it’s messy, rebuilding trust after stops and starts, and choosing tiny repeatable actions over grand plans. 

We talk about the difference between “trying to write” and quietly becoming the person who writes, what accountability looks like when life is full, and the simple practices that helped Claire steady her rhythm and bring a project across the line. 

Claire went from stuck post-doc to thriving Cambridge professor, and her journey is vulnerable, true, and inspiring.

You’ll hear:

  • How to swap perfection pressure for a workable pace
  • The micro‑habits that keep momentum when motivation dips
  • Ways to meet fear without letting it run the session
  • Why community matters (and how to find the right one)
  • Claire’s honest take on what changes in 90 days—and what doesn’t
