Shut Up & Write!: In-Person Writing Group

  • Arlington Public Library - George W. Hawkes Downtown Library 100 South Center Street Arlington, TX, 76010 United States (map)

Details

Join us for an hour of in-person writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 9:30 am on Saturday mornings.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff -- you're 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.

Location:
Arlington Public Library - George W. Hawkes Downtown Library
(See map for details)

  • Check the comment section for details on room specifics.

  • Elevators are behind the Librarian's desk on 1st floor.

Schedule:

  • 9:30 - Arrive and settle in

  • 9:45 - Quick introductions (name and briefly what you're working on)

  • 10:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour

  • 11:00 - The end: feel free to stay for the awesome after-chat :)

* A couple of notes *

Being late is okay.
Just show up and quietly settle in. We'll say hi and chat after the session. If you were on time, please make room for the friendly latecomer.

What Should I Bring?

  • Whatever you need to do your particular writing thing.

  • A sweater if you get chilly easily.

  • Headphones if you need auditory assistance to concentrate.

  • There are outlets, but you may want to charge up just in case.

  • BYOBB - bring your own brekkie/beverage (lidded cup required). Inclusion Coffee is across the street. Fuzzy's Tacos & Shipley's Donuts are close by.

WiFi: The library has free WiFi available.

Parking: There is a free parking garage on Center Street and tons of free parking along the streets nearby.

Discord: Join us on Discord :)
