Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 5:30 pm on Wednesday evenings.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are 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**:
5:30 - Socializing and Quick introductions
5:45 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
6:45 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 7 pm. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) We often scatter around the room during the individual writing time.

Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at the Good Food Co-op!

**What Should I Bring?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! Please come with a fully charged laptop, tablet, or other device, as outlets may not be available. Of course, writing the old-fashioned way is also encouraged.

Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to try to block the overhead music or conversation by other patrons.

**Other Important Details:**
The Wednesday event is currently hosted at the Good Foods Co-op, 445 Southland Drive, in the seating area near the Cafe and the community room just behind the cafe.
