Shut Up & Write!® Marathon LEUVEN

Marathon edition (2h30) - please check out the schedule below Join us for 2h30 of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. 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 ------------------------------------ 14:00 - Quick introductions 14:15 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 15:15 - Break: let's rest our hands for a minute with a quick chat 15:30 - Timer starts again: write for 1 hour 16:30 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing You can come for just one hour (at 14:00 or 15:30) or do the whole session. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 16:30. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at the Wereldcafé ! What Should I Bring? ------------------------- Whatever you need to be able to write!
