Online Event: Shut Up & Write on Zoom - Co-working

Staying at home to do your civic duty during the COVID-19 pandemic? Join us for two hours of writing and/or co-working from the comfort of your own home.

We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with others, even if we’re all just hanging out online together. See if it’s true for you at 2:00-4:00 PM Pacific on Thursday afternoons.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. And don’t worry, no one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice.

SCHEDULE:
2:00 - Quick introductions
2:10 - Timer starts: write for 1 1/2 hours
3:50 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing

WHAT DO I NEED?
A computer with working camera and microphone, a good internet connection, and optionally, headphones.

OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:
Technical difficulties are part and parcel of getting together online.

I'm always happy to have new people attend this session. However, before I can let anyone in to the Zoom room, you need to let me know who you are, where you're working from and what you'll be working on by messaging me through the Meet Up event chat on the page so I can verify that you a real person and signing up to the event to work. Please bear with me so that we can have a positive experience for everyone and ensure they'll be no disruptions during the sessions.
Please note - I never let people in who haven't signed up and I don't let any late-comers in that I haven't worked with before.

If you run into technical issues, remember that this is the time you’ve carved out for yourself and your writing. Whether or not you were able to join our online meet-up, go ahead and get your writing started, then leave a comment below to let us know how it went for you.

After registering, you will be able to see the Zoom link on the meeting page to the right.
