Shut Up & Write!® TIGARD Writers' Space

Organizer Linda - co-hosts Carol,Jessica

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 6:00 pm on Thursday 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:
5:45: room is available
6:00: Meet and Greet .
Each week a different host opens the session with a brief icebreaker.

6:15 : Write for an hour

7:15 : check in with group ,continue to write , or simply leave

Members often talk about their successes and challenges as writers. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing. Some writers do voluntarily share aloud a sample of their work .

7:45 : room availability ends
