“Shut Up and Write!”
DESCRIPTION: Do you have an article draft you need to work on? An outline to refine? A book proposal to begin? Even a totally half-baked research idea to flesh out on [real or virtual] paper? Okay, so answer this: are you your own worst enemy when it comes to putting nose to the grindstone? This event provides a little bit of networking, but it is mainly a chance to come and get some writing done! Bring a project to work on, and we will help you focus during timed writing exercises. Refreshments will be served.
