Shut Up & Write!® in TIGARD

DROP IN WRITING

Join our writing family of regulars 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 6:00 pm on Thursday evenings.
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:
5:45 : room is opened
6:00: Meet and Greet Activity and brief Mindfulness writing focus .
( We are grateful to have Carol Palo , author of 3 books , as an assistant host . )

6:15 : Write for an hour
7:15 : the end of writing, check in , socialize, or simply leave when you are ready
7:45 : the room is locked

RSVP and please arrive 10–15 minutes early to get settled at an in-person event. Our host will lead introductions and brief Mindfulness focus. Then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time.

If you feel to talk to others during the writing hour, no worries, please do so in the Tutoring room next to the Circulation Desk and join us at 7:15 pm.

Afterward, we’ll have an optional time to socialize. Members often talk about their successes and challenges as writers. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.

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 are on time, please be willing to make room for any friendly latecomers.
