Hello and welcome to our virtual meeting. Shut Up and Write Springfield meets on Discord. If you would like to join us, please send me a private message here on Meetup, and I will send you a link to our server. We never share the links publicly. YOU MUST ASK ME FOR IT! I do my best to respond to link request in a timely manner, but if I am late, you are more than welcome to join us next week. Once you are in the server you are in it, so you should only need the link once.

We are a collaborative group, so if I am unable to be there for some Wednesdays, one of group members can easily facilitate, Here's a little bit more about how Shut Up and Write Sessions work:

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 7:30pm.

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:

7:30- SESSION 1: quick intros.

7:45- timer starts: write for 1 hour.

8:45 (the end) chat / take off / keep writing!

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 7:30 and 8:45. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

BEING LATE IS OKAY: just log on and get settled! We will be sure to post
what time we will regroup after our writing hour, so you will know what's going on,

LEAVING EARLY IS OKAY TOO. As we said, the socializing is optional. We do tend to get a little chatty after writing sometimes, so please don't feel obligated to stay if you aren't up for it. We will just look forward to seeing you next time.

We strive to be a supportive group who lifts other writers up. We have space in server to share recommended reading and we welcome any questions you might have.

That's it for now! Happy writing and we look forward to seeing you soon! Please let me know if you have any questions.
