Genre + Fiction Writers of San Francisco

Hangout + Silent Writing is the backbone of the group. This is where both build a community of writers and also take time to connect with our writing.

At 1pm: People will start gathering in the coffee shop. This is an opportunity to meet other writers, introduce yourselves, and just chat it up! Discuss your writing or your favorite book or why your bus ride was extra interesting today. (What else inspires our writing than the stories we witness?)

At 1:30pm: We will begin an hour of silent work. This is when we pull out laptops or notebooks or whatever and begin working. Whether you're working on a novel or a screenplay or a piece of flash fiction, this is your chance to dedicate one solid hour to just engaging with it.

Before the hour starts, I will call everyone's attention and do a round of check-ins where we share our intentions for the hour.

At 2:30pm: The hour of silent work is over! I will call everyone's attention again and we will check-out by sharing how the hour went for us.

After check-out, people may choose to continue working away. If you're really in the groove, I encourage this! Otherwise, people may go back to chatting and discussing their writing, etc. You may also decide to head out if you have other Sunday activities to get to.

Location: We will be meeting at the Wave Art Collective in Lower Haight. They have both indoor and outdoor seating so plan accordingly.

On Sundays, they graciously open up their space to the community. They run a small coffee shop and invite pop-up food vendors. I can guarantee there will always be coffee, but I cannot guarantee what food will be there. Everyone is encouraged to purchase what they can to help support the Wave Art Collective!
