Room Options
"Shut Up and Write!"Are you looking for some dedicated, quiet time to write? This is a space for just that. Each session follows the international “Shut Up & Write!” model which uses the Pomodoro technique of 25-minute bursts of activity and 5-minute breaks. No workshopping, no sharing, no feedback on pieces—just writing.
Peer WorkshoppingThis room offers a space for mutual support, feedback, and for commenting and editing each other’s work in a group setting. Take the risk and gain experience through sharing your work and your input. Classes will start with a pep talk and/or a writing prompt, with time allotted for sharing work in small groups.At WordLabs, we aim to provide a respectful, inclusive space where every writer can feel comfortable sharing ideas, feedback, and perspectives. We ask all participants to help foster a creative, open, and judgment-free environment.
Writers who consider their practice a lifelong learning exercise continue to develop their skills and improve their voice.Writing can be lonely work. A writing group can be a great source of community and support. In addition to providing you with practical feedback and a dedicated time and space to hone your skills, you can also find opportunities to network, learn about the business side of writing, and perhaps most importantly, find a peer group that understands the joys – and frustrations – that come with writing.Benefits: Constructive Feedback, Motivation, Accountability, New Inspiration, Sharing Passions, and Building CommunityThese are your two hours.
