Shut Up & Write!® Indianapolis

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 10-12:00 on Friday mornings.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, song, 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:
10:00 - Introduce new members, talk about what we’re writing
10:30 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
11:30 - Share what we wrote, give feedback as requested

The meetup gives writers opportunity to talk with other writers, and talk about their work. Writing is solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers can be a cool thing.

BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up, find a seat and start writing. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the latecomer.

Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Glendale Library, Fox Community Room.

What to bring?

Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if they help you focus on writing.

Tables have accessible electrical and USB sockets to charge your device but best to come with pre-charged laptops or tablets. Paper and pens also work great.

The library has free WiFi. It also has helpful resource librarians and a great collection of old and new books to browse after the meetup for reference or inspiration.

The library opens at 10 so you may have to wait on seats outside if you come early. Plenty of parking.
