Hi Friends

Let's meet over Zoom video & write together.

I will host, we will introduce ourselves and what we are working on that day, and then we will shut up and write.

At 7:00 pm we will check out, and say how it went.

I look forward to writing with you on Zoom

Warmly,

Vanissar

your host

It is okay to arrive late and/or leave early as long as you check in or out with everyone via chat.

***

Join host Vanissar and other writers for two hours of focused writing! It's all about whatever you need to write - short story, novel, poem, memoir, thesis, or a manifesto! Bring a laptop, bring a pen, bring a notebook. We'll introduce ourselves and then write!

5:00 PM – Introductions-Your name and your writing project
5:10 PM - Shut up and Write!
7:00 PM - Brief Check-out with Everyone—How did it go?
7:10 PM- Goodbye!

If you're spending too much time THINKING about writing, come and join us for a session of focused writing. It may just be "pipe-cleaning" for now, but you'll feel better showing up at the page. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice.

Online event

Welcome everyone! A sedulite is a person who prizes diligence, perseverance, and assiduity.

Follow-up on how you did after your writing session via the event page comment section is always encouraged.

If you sign up and realize you won't be able to make it, it's helpful to amend your RSVP to "Not Going" status. Thank you!

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, zine, 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.

Where is the link to the Zoom Room? On the event page under the "Online event" header.

SCHEDULE:
6:30 pm (zoom meeting starts) - we go around and give quick intros, what we plan to work on.

Shut Up & Write!™ Sunday Evening Sedulites

Join us for an hour of writing! We've discovered that it's extremely beneficial for a lot of people to write with other writers. See if this is true for you in the Campbelltown SU&W Discord server.

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.

**DATE:** Mondays & Wednesdays at 2-3 pm

**WHERE:** Discord Server - Link on the event page.

***SCHEDULE***:

**2:00 pm -Quick introductions**

**2:05 pm - Begin writing**; I've found that some writers (including myself) write better listening to white noise, be that music or other people talking, like at a cafe, but if you don't want to join the conversation or don't want anyone to hear you, you can mute your mic. If you're the opposite and need silence, you can simply mute the entire call, including yourself.

**3 pm: End of meeting**; while this is the official end of the meeting, if some wish to stay on the call and talk to others or write for longer, that is completely fine, encouraged even, as there is no time limit on Discord.

**BEING LATE IS OKAY.** Simply join the call, say hi and start writing :)

A lot of people think writing is very solitary. And in a few ways, it is. Still, writing is also a part of the creative industry, along with music, art, animation and many more. One thing that almost everyone knows about the creative industry is that connections are key; connections with people help you improve and distribute your creative works.

Whether it's simply asking friends and family to listen to your music, look at your art or read some of your reading for their feedback or your teacher giving you a letter of recommendation for University to help you get your foot in the door.

Having connections with people, especially those involved in the creative industry, is an integral part of any creative career; though not entirely necessary and not an actual requirement (that would be a real dent in the plans for us introverts 😂), it can only make it all the easier in many ways.

Thank you for taking an interest, and I hope to see you, happy writers, there :)

So whether you are a seasoned writer or a beginner who aspires to write and wants to explore the craft, you are most welcome.
