Shut Up & Write Chicago!
***Spring Weather Note*** Please double-check before coming out to make sure we’re still on in the event of bad weather. Feel free to message me directly with questions. ***Welcome all Chicago Writers!*** We’ll meetup several Wednesdays a month in the Loop after work to connect with other writers and have some focused writing time. We'll meet at Potbelly at 205 W. Randolph, corner of Randolph and Wells. I'll be there with a sign at the tables to the right when you enter. We’ll start with introductions and share a couple of sentences about your goals for the session. Then we’ll set a timer for 60 minutes and tell everyone to “Shut Up & Write!” We’re not a critique group, so no pressure, we don’t share our writing after the session unless you’d like to. This is a group for all writers at all levels and genres, from novices to veterans, from poets to sci-fi scribes. Our meeting time is 5:30-7, writing time starts at 5:45 and ends at 6:45. There’s plenty of time to socialize before and after, and talk about whatever writing-related topics come up. If you’re running late just come on over, sit down and start to write!
