Shut Up & Write!® @ Bakery Lorraine in the Medical Center

About this event

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

• There's only one easily accessible outlet at this location, so, if you can, please make sure your devices are charged ahead of time.

• We are not a critique group. We're just here to motivate each other to keep moving towards our goals. You're more than welcome to reach out for feedback, but just be ready to shut up & write once the timer starts.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 11 on Sunday morning.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

SCHEDULE (The times are loose. I try to give everyone time to get settled before we start. No worries about being late): 11:00 - General chatting and catching up 11:15 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 12:15 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens when the timer goes off. You're free to leave whenever you're ready, but there's always at least a few of us who stay until the cafe closes at 3.

BEING LATE IS OKAY: If the table is full, we'll do our best to make room or there's almost always someone with the group on the bench along the back wall.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring headphones/earbuds/earplugs if you want to block out the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
