What we’re about
Shut Up & Write! is a global community that empowers writers to overcome procrastination, silence their inner critic, and make consistent progress on their projects. Our events provide a structured and focused environment where writers can come together, set aside distractions, and achieve their writing goals.
What to Expect
Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, a period of focused writing, and a final check-in to share our progress. Once you arrive, our host will lead introductions, and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time. Afterward, we’ll have an optional time to chat and get to know each other. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.

See all- Shut Up & Write!® Dr. Phillips/OrlandoFoxtail Coffee, Orlando, FL
Join us for an hour of writing at Foxtail Coffee near Publix in the Dr. Phillips area! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 6:30 p.m. on the first, second, third and fifth Monday evenings. Note the map might lead you to think it is at Starbucks but that is OLD info. Come to Foxtail Coffee:)
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:
Mondays: first, second, third, fifth Mondays of every month, starting in October 2022.
6:30 p.m. - Quick introductions
6:45 p.m.- Timer starts: write for 1 hour
7:45 p.m.- The End: chat, take off, or keep writing (Fox Tail is open until 9 p.m)OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 6:30 and again at 7:45 p.m. 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. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Foxtail Coffee at 7610 W Sand Lake Rd B106, Orlando, FL 32819. (not putting in a map as it will say Starbucks).
