Creative Writing in Montpellier and Online

Rencontre au Gazette Café de Montpellier (sur la mezzanine) le vendredi après-midi en alternance avec le samedi matin.

Meeting at the Gazette Café in Montpellier (on the mezzanine) Friday afternoon alternating with Saturday morning.

***

Inspiré des groupes Meetup « London Write Together » et « Shut Up and Write », l’événement « Écrire Ensemble/Write Together » s’adresse à tous ceux qui écrivent.

La rencontre se déroule en deux parties : une première qui consiste en un exercice léger de 10 minutes variant toutes les semaines. Puis nous enchainons avec une heure et demie d'écriture en silence (en français, anglais ou autre).
Chacun travaille de manière indépendante et choisi ses propres objectifs. Vous écrivez ce que vous voulez !

Vous serez entouré(e) d’autres personnes en train de taper, griffonner ou cherchant l’inspiration. Leur compagnie vous aidera à rester concentré et à continuer à écrire !

Inspired by the Meetup groups « London Write Together » and « Shut Up and Write », the event « Écrire Ensemble/Write Together » is for everyone who writes.

We do a short, fun writing exercise as a group. This might be a writing prompt that we each complete by ourselves, then share with others, or a group writing exercise where we all write a story together. See https://www.indigoextra.com/blog/creative-writing-exercises for examples of the exercises).

We then each write on our own project in silence for an hour and a half (in English, French or any other language). Each person works on their own and sets their own targets. What you write is entirely up to you - some people use this to work on a novel, others on a short story, or freewriting where you literally write whatever comes to mind. You're also welcome to work on coursework if you're simply looking for support to help you focus.

This is an online creative writing group for aspiring authors. Each Sunday the format is as follows:

• 10.30am CET join the Zoom chat and brief catch-up.

• 10.40am group writing exercise (this is a different exercise each week designed to develop your skills in creating characters, crafting plots, or in the art of writing itself).

• 11am silent writing on your own novel, screenplay or other work. We use the energy of the group to stay focused and help spur our creativity.

• 12.30 end of session.

Feeling creative? This is a chance to write in silence on your own project, using the group's energy to boost your concentration and creativity with a friendly chat at the end.

À l’attention des participants francophones: Lorsqu’il y a suffisamment d’écrivains désirant un retour sur leurs textes, nous utilisons une salle de réunion virtuelle à part où ils peuvent partager des extraits d’une longueur de 2000 mots maxi. Voir ci-dessous pour plus d’infos à ce sujet.

Silent Writing

We use the energy of the group to stay focused and help spur our creativity during an hour and a half of silent writing. A prompt will be provided if you want inspiration, however you're equally welcome to work on your own project in any language.

All writers, new and established, are warmly welcomed.
