Shut Up & Write! in Aberdeen City - at Foodstory


Details
Shut Up & Write!® hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour's progress.
Finlay, Patricia, or Jez will host (depending on availability). It is super casual!
Location: Foodstory, 11-15 Thistle St, Aberdeen AB10 1XZ
What to Expect
Until the cafe at Second Home on Gaelic Lane reopens, we have decided to relocate the meet-ups to Foodstory. Subject to availability, we will meet in the upstairs space at the cafe (if It’s not available there should be enough space in the ground floor cafe.)
Some of us are likely to be at Foodstory for 9am (they actually open at 8am!) for coffee, breakfast, chat, writing, and you’re welcome to join us then, but we will stick with the ‘official‘ 10am-12pm duration, and will start the writing timer in that slot, so no pressure to arrive before 10!
Say hi if you are new, everything is very easy going. We set a timer for an hour and a quarter at about 10:30 after a bit of chat and getting a coffee, and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time.
Afterward, we’ll have an optional time to chat and get to know each other. Members often talk about their successes and challenges as writers. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.

Being Late is Okay: Just show up and get settled, then check in after the session. If you are on time, please be willing to make room for any friendly latecomers.
