Shut Up & Write! Madison: East
Advertisement

Join us for an hour of writing at Forward Craft & Coffee! Putting words on the page alongside other writers is a great way to commit to your creative hobby, or just get some work done!

I'm Jeromy, your host, and you can find me at the table with a "Shut Up & Write" sign, typically in the reserved room past the counter. I will try to arrive by 5:45 but if you beat me there go ahead and take a seat in there.

Any form of writing is ok: novel, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, song, 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:

6:00 - Brief introductions of ourselves and share what we are working on.

6:10 - Timer starts.

7:10 - Check in on the progress we made, then keep writing or hang out for a while longer.

BEING LATE IS OKAY: Just show up and quietly get settled, then introduce yourself when we share our progress at the end.

IF YOU NO LONGER CAN MAKE IT please update your RSVP so someone else can join.

What Should I Bring?

Whatever you need to be able to write!

Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Please come with your laptop charged -- there are not many plugs available.

Other Important Details:

TRAVEL / PARKING: Forward does not have a parking lot but does have bike racks outside and limited street parking out front. There is free two hour parking on adjacent streets.

GUIDELINES: Please be respectful of Forward by purchasing a drink or snack if you are able to.
