About us
Shut Up & Write!® is a nonprofit writing initiative that has supported writing communities around the world since 2007. At its core, it is a simple, repeatable practice that helps people write consistently by showing up together, writing side by side (or screen by screen), and keeping the experience free of critique, pressure, or performance.
My name is Maggie and I host online sessions twice a week. The meetings are hosted on Teams and are completely free. We will spend 15 minutes saying hello and getting orientated, an hour in focused writing time, and 15 minutes optionally reflecting.
Tuesdays:
Afterlight Authors is my Shut Up & Write community of writers who embrace the quiet power of the night - where distractions quiet and my mind follows suit. I simply sit in the dark and let my ideas exist.
The stillness of night really encourages my imagination to flourish without pesky self-critique and I am able to fully explore the worlds I have stuck in my head. Here, I am more connected to emotion than to perfection. The edits can wait for morning. Let's slow down and wander during this 90-minute session.
Happy writing, everyone!
Thursdays:
Morning Muses is my Shut Up & Write circle dedicated to honoring the quiet power of early mornings - before the world gets loud.
The 90-minute writing session is built around the idea that mornings are our peak time for focus and flow. Let's take in the calmness of the morning and start our day with creative energy.
Happy writing, everyone!
