Shut Up and Write! [London/Waterstones Piccadilly]

Join us at the top of the biggest bookshop in Europe to work alongside others on your own writing, be it a book, blog, screenplay, dissertation, poem, song, coursework, memoir, play, journal, travel writing, work stuff or anything else. Newcomers are always welcome. No one will see what you're writing or give you unsolicited advice. We often fill the room, so you must RSVP below and please arrive by 11:40 at the latest. And if you can't make it, please change your RSVP to "not going" as soon as possible to free up the spot for someone else, thanks. WHERE? The Fifth Floor Cafe, Floor 5, Waterstones, 203-206 Piccadilly, W1J 9LE, right by Piccadilly Circus. TIMINGS: 11:00 - Café starts serving 11:30 - Host of the day will be there - say hello, especially if you’re new. 11:40 - Brief introductions for everybody - your name and what you’re working on. 11:45 - Timer starts: write for 45 minutes 12:30 – Break, chat to your neighbors if you like 12:45 - Timer starts: write for 45 minutes 13:30 - The End…feel free to stay and keep writing or chat some more. Bring whatever you need to be able to write. It’s a café, there’s some noise so earbuds/headphones/earplugs are handy. There are very few power outlets, so charged-up laptops are a good idea too. And please remember everyone, thank our venue by buying a drink or food, and don’t consume anything from outside while you're here. If you arrive after 11:45, everyone will be quiet and writing. If there are no spare places, there are sofas on the sales floors below, as well as one cafe at the back of the ground floor and another on the lower ground floor. We’re looking forward to writing with you, your hosts, Sarah, Nick, Laura, Anna, John and Solitaire
