Details

【Shut up&Write Kyoto online

Online at 20:00(JST)

*日本語案内は下にあります

Join us for an hour of writing from the comfort of your own home.

We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with others, even if we’re all just hanging out online together. See if it’s true for you at 20:30 on Zoom(Official Language is English/ sometimes Japanese if you need)

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. And don’t worry, no one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice.

SCHEDULE: Starting time is at 20:00

20:00 - Quick introductions (The Zoom room opens at 20:00)

20:05 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour (mute your microphone during writing. Video on/off is up to you)

21:05 - The End: chat(Let's talk about how you feel after the event and what you accomplished), take off, or keep writing

21:15 - The room will be closed.

*you will see the URL in this event page after you RSVPed.

*If you are late at 20:05, just enter the room quietly and start writing by yourself. Please say hi to everybody after 21:05 if you like.

WHAT DO I NEED?

A computer with working camera and microphone, a good internet connection, and optionally, headphones.

OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:

Technical difficulties are part and parcel of getting together online.

If you’ve never used your computer for an online meeting, take a few minutes before we meet to familiarize yourself with how to use Zoom by reviewing the below tutorial:

If you run into technical issues, remember that this is the time you’ve carved out for yourself and your writing. Whether or not you were able to join our online meet-up, go ahead and get your writing started, then leave a comment below to let us know how it went for you.

For a while, Shut & Write Kyoto is going to do the events online.
