Shut Up & Write!® Pasadena
Tue, Nov 17, 3:00 AM**ABOUT THE EVENT** 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 7:00pm on Monday Evenings. 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: 7:00 - Quick introductions. 7:10 - Timer starts. Write for 1 hour. 8:10 - Chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 8:10PM. Writing can be very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. What Should I Bring? All you need is something to write with and a way to make a food/drink purchase. Free WiFi is available. Parking: The **cheapest** parking is at the **Schoolhouse Parking Facility.** 33 E. Green Street (corner of Green and Raymond) - 2 blocks from Nana's Green Tea. **$1 first 2 hours**; $2 per hour thereafter; $12 daily maximum The **closest** parking is across the street from Nana’s Green Tea 48 N.
