No Typewriters / No Talking

No Typewriters / No Talking has two rules, they’re in the name. Writers of any stage, genre, format, or style are invited to come work together for one hour in a shared space once a month. You can write with anything: biro on notepad, fingers on laptop, quill on vellum — just not a gosh darn typewriter. During the hour of writing there is no talking. Coming together for one hour of shared sustained silence is a simple ritual that will help us concentrate on the thing we want to do (but find many reasons not to), write.
