Shut Up & Write!® in Haarlem
Details
Haarlem writers, join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers.
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:
11 am - Quick introductions
11:15 am- Timer starts: write for 1 hour
12:15 am- The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
OPTIONAL HOUR: I will stay for another hour after the official part. Feel free to join me!
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign or pin) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Please come with your devices pre-charged, since we probably won't be always sitting somewhere with charging possibility.
Other Important Details:
This meet-up is hosted by Max.
A note about the format
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.
