Shut Up & Write! [Amsterdam/ IJburg]

Join us for an hour of focused writing! ✍️ Writing alongside fellow writers can be incredibly beneficial. Experience it for yourself at Factor-ij Amsterdam on Thursday mornings.

Whether you're working on a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem, or any other writing project, you're welcome to join us. No one will see your work or offer unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and make real progress!

Schedule:

• 11:15 AM - Quick introductions
• 11:30 AM - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
• 12:30 PM - The End: chat, leave, or continue writing

Optional Socializing:

After the writing session, feel free to connect with other writers at 12:30 PM. Writing can be a solitary activity, so sharing experiences with others can be refreshing! 🤝

Being Late is Okay:

If you're running late, just arrive and settle in. Please check in with the host (look for the Shut Up & Write! sign) after the session. If you arrive on time, kindly make space for latecomers.
