Shut Up & Write!® Lawrenceville at Happenstance Cafe in Pittsburgh, PA on Friday, May 15, 2026.
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 10:00 AM on Friday mornings. 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 - Quick introductions 10:15 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 11:15 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing Optional Socializing happens at 11:15. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. Being Late is OK: 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! I look forward to seeing you at Happenstance Cafe. 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. Electric outlets for laptops are available. WiFi Happenstance guest Password: HapsPGH3832 Parking Free street parking Happenstance Cafe offers food and beverages.
