Shut Up & Write!™ Montreal

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 18h00 on Mondays.

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:
17:45 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
18:00 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
19:00 - (the end) chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 19h00. 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.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at The Forum!

What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons. I'm not sure if electrical outlets are available. Please make sure your laptop or tablet is fully charged.

Other Important Details:
The Forum has unreliable WiFi.
TRAVEL / PARKING: It is across the street from Metro Atwater with parking available (paying).
