Quiet Writing Club ⟡ All Writers Welcome ⟡ Silent Co-Working

Need quiet time to write this week? Join us for a evening co-working session at Lazarus on Airport. Get in some time with your manuscript/idea/journal, stretch, then join us for some casual chitchat if you're feeling up for it afterwards.

Quiet Writing Club ⟡ An Evening Co-Working Hour

This week, we'll be meeting at Lazarus Brewing Co. on Airport for a quiet evening co-working hour. No assignments or readings this week! If you'd like to see what we do when we're in event mode, check out our previous writing workshops on Origin Stories and Emotion, Memory, and Color.

Event Structure

7:00 – 7:15 ⟡ Arrival & Settle In Grab a drink and pull up a seat! I'll try to arrive early to make sure everyone can find where we are (look for a small Asian woman with a sign on the table lol).

7:15 – 7:25 ⟡ Check-In Brief go-around (names, pronouns).

To make the space feel as non-performative as possible, I will not ask what kind of project you’re working on. Feel free to bring whatever - from the next Great American novel to your Harry Potter fanfiction.

7:25 – 8:25 ⟡ Quiet Work Block Our main event: one hour of heads-down thinking time. Feel free to move around and sit somewhere else during your working hour. No chatting or interrupting others allowed.

8:25 – 8:30 ⟡ Heads-Up I'll go around to gently remind everyone that work time is wrapping up.

8:30 – 8:45 ⟡ Closeout We’ll go around and share one way we intend to keep making space for ourselves as writers.

8:45 onward ⟡ Casual Hangout Stay if you want, but feel totally free to head out.

And that'll be all! Thank you in advance for bringing your passion for writing to our group! I'm excited to see you there.
