Shut Up & Write!
Join us for an hour of writing!
We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers.
See if it’s true for you at Buurthuis Lydia:
every Sunday from 16:00 to 18:00, starting on 16th March 2025.
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
16:00 - Arrival & quick introductions
16:20 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
17:20 - The End: chat and socialise

BEING LATE IS OKAY: Just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Afterwards, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
What should you bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the occasional conversation by other patrons.
WiFi is available. Please come with your devices pre-charged, since there are few charging possibilities.
Other Important Details:
Consumption is not required but please buy a drink to honour our host.
We have our own room for writing - please respect the space and help keep it tidy!
A note about the format
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.
