Shut Up & Write!® Fort Collins

Join us for an hour of writing!

It can be amazingly helpful to write with other writers. Accountability is an ally of productivity.

See if it’s true for you at 7pm on Wednesday evenings at COOPERSMITH's...
... be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, poem, or just plain work stuff, you're 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
• 7:00pm - Everyone starts to arrive and get settled
• 7:05pm-ish – Quick intros
• 7:15pm – Timer starts and the writing hour begins
• 8:15pm – The end of the writing hour is announced

Optional socializing happens from 8:15 to 8:30pm. Writing is very solitary, so connecting (and commiserating) with other writers can be a great thing.
Being late is okay—just show up and get settled. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.

VENUE INFORMATION
• Outlets are limited, so make sure your laptop or other device is fully charged before you arrive
• Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block out the overhead music or the conversation by other patrons
• WiFi is free and available within the building
• There is a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available, and a full menu, as well. Please thank our hosts by purchasing something (if you are able), and don't bring your own food or drink other than a water bottle.

Your focus determines your reality.

TRAVEL/PARKING
Verboten is located at the corner of Hwy 287 (Cleveland Ave) and 5th Street in downtown Loveland, nestled between Comet Chicken and the NOCO Cat Cafe. It shares a parking lot with multiple other businesses, so there is ample free parking.
