Shut Up & Write!™ Close-in NE

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 AM on Friday Mornings at Neighbor's Table.

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:
10:00 – Say hi to everyone.
10:15 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:15 - (the end) chat / take off / keep writing.

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11:30 am. 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 say hi after the session.
Happy writing!

What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

SEATING INFORMATION: I'll try to snag one of the tables by the garage door-style windows. Feel free to sit wherever is open!

There are outlets but if you are bringing an electronic device, try to bring one that's as charged as possible to make life easier for everyone, including yourself.

TRAVEL / PARKING: Neighbor's Table is inside the church on NE Flanders between 28th and 29th. (Note: while this is in a church, it's not a religious event). There is plenty of street parking. The #19 bus line runs one block away.

Address: 2830 NE Flanders St, Portland, OR 97232

GUIDELINES: Be sure to thank our hosts by purchasing something. They have a full coffee bar with plenty of tea options as well.

Other Important Details: Note that Flanders at NE 28th is blocked to car traffic due to Montelupo's outdoor seating tent.
