Shut Up & Write!™ Dumbo Brooklyn

Join us for an hour of writing! You can write anything you want to, doesn't have to be for a specific project. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Just come write!

We usually meet every week, even though it says we meet every other week. Check the Shut Up & Write calendar to see all the dates.

IMPORTANT: there are a limited number of spots. RSVP only if you can make it, and update as soon as possible if your plans change. Be kind to those waiting for spots to open.

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.

SCHEDULE:
6:45p - quick intros.
7:00p - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
8:00p - timer ends. You are welcome to chat / take off / keep writing.

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING: happens at 8:00p. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

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.
Come with your laptop fully charged, a backup battery, or a portable battery charging pack if you need to.

Please note, there is no Wifi available.
