What we’re about
A meetup for those who write. Aspiring authors or writers of anything.
The format helps combat procrastination and focus on writing free of distraction. It is structured:
- 15 mins social; chatting etc.
- 60 mins work, no chat; everyone stops talking and works
- 15 mins post-work; down tools, chat, leave etc.
Usually runs 6-7:30pm weekday evening at a city centre cafe.
Brand new, so no events set up yet. Will do so once a few people join.
No critiquing
This is not a writing workshop. No one is reading or critiquing work. It is a place for you to work privately on your own thing.
It works
If you are struggling to produce any work this method tends to help.
A change of environment usually improves focus as does the enforced hour of working and not talking etc. Plus you get to meet others who like writing.
All are welcome.
Can’t manage a weekday?
This meetup is inspired by Shut Up and Write! which runs on weekends. Check them out here: https://www.meetup.com/shutupandwriteglasgow/
Social anxiety
If you suffer from social anxiety and find attending these kinds of events daunting, don't worry, you are not alone.
This type of event is primarily about the writing, so you can minimise social interaction if you wish.
If it still seems too much then the organiser is usually there before kickoff. Message him via the meetup app and you can meet beforehand if that helps.
