    Shut Up & Write

    Posted: October 19, 2018

    1. Start writing before you may feel you’re ready.
    2. Finish writing before you may feel you’re ready.
    3. Know when you’ve done enough with your writing project.
      ― Robert Boice, Professors as Writers: A Self-Help Guide to Productive Writing

    Shut Up & Write meets once a month in Dahlonega and Gainesville to share structured quiet time to write. These sessions create accountability for faculty to meet and to make progress on research and writing. Participants will work in two blocks of twenty-five minutes with a five-minute block of talking at the beginning and a five-minute block of rest and talking at the mid-point. Shut Up & Write sessions are facilitated by Michael Rifenburg.
