Ever heard the expression “put up or shut up”? With Shut up and Write, you can do both!
Shut Up and Write is exactly what it sounds like. For two 25 minute intervals you will put your head down and write. You can write whatever you like, giving total focus to any project you need to get done already. After 25 minutes, enjoy a 15 minute break. Stretch, have a drink…….. throw your draft in the bin and start again when the next 25 minutes starts if things are really dire. Whatever works!
Based on the Pomodoro Technique, this system of working steadily for a set time and enjoying short breaks has been proven to increase productivity. So no more excuses for procrastination. Shut up and Write provides the perfect opportunity for you to set aside time specifically for writing. And when you come along and do it with ALIA QLD, you can meet new friends and enjoy a drink as well.
BYO laptop, tablet, typewriter, paper and pen, quill, or similar writing instruments.
Shut up and Write will be held on the first Tuesday of every month.
NOTE: The Shut Up and Write Tuesday series has now ended. Thanks to those who participated!
