Shut Up & Write BASEL: Wednesday Writers

Details

After a successful special summer writing series we have decided to continue meeting on Wednesday mornings at Claire.

Look for the Shut Up & Write sign on a long table.

THE DETAILS

We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem, zine, 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:
9:30 - Quick introductions
9:45 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
10:45 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
After a bit of a break and a chat, those who wish often do a second (& third) round of writing.

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 10:45. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session.

TO BRING:
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the conversation by other patrons.

COST:
This is a FREE meetup, organized by volunteers. Please thank the cafe for the space by purchasing something. If you would like to thank Christine for organizing, you are welcome to give your coffee stamp to her Kaffeepass card.
