Shut Up & Write!® Astoria, Queens, NYC

NOTE: People who arrive late are a buzzkill. The point is to be quiet and write and late arrivals disrupt the flow. So come early (QED is available at 12:30PM that day), get settled in and enjoy one hour (or more!) of disruption free writing!

~~~~~

Join us for an hour of writing at QED, the creative arts space voted #1 in all of NYC by Time Out NY readers.

No matter what you're writing, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. We'll play some ambient beats, but bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block that out or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

SCHEDULE:
12pm - QED opens - come early, if you'd like!

2:30 - 3:00pm - Check in, grab a refreshment, make quick introductions (arrive earlier if you need more time to get settled in!)

3:00 - 4:00pm - Timer starts for 60 mins! Shut up! Write!

4:00 - 4:30pm (or a little more?) - Hang out, share your work with the group (or not, no pressure!), crack knuckles and chill or keep writing.

Other Important Details:

TRAVEL / PARKING: Street parking; short walk from the Ditmars (last stop) off the N train
