We had a fantastic time at #TheLondonBookFair this week.

A highlight for us was a panel exploring how we can fuel a reading revolution. It was great to see storytellers, library leaders and independent booksellers talk about the power of literary communities for everyone!

‘The process of writing forces the writer to be present’ Writing is hard and uncomfortable, but the craft of turning thoughts into words should not be lost to the frictionless ease of generative AI, write Jackie Webb and Christina Birnbaum

We wanted to share this thoughtful post by @jackiewebb.bsky.social & @christinabirnbaum.bsky.social on writing with intention.

“Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That’s why it’s so hard.”

Does having a judgemental lorikeet staring at you help you to write? Print this out, stick it on or next to your computer and see what happens! #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat #resdev #highered #suaw

a blank book is never empty, it is full of "waiting to be discovered" treasures. Each page can be a new adventure.
It is a tool and a companion.

Check if your university has a Shut Up and Write group.This encourages you to write regularly in short blocks. It's also a chance to meet other writers and share the writing journey. There are also virtual #SUAW groups. #PhDchat #PhDForum #ECRchat

In lieu of a #amwriting retreat near STL, I'm considering hitting up a #ShutUpAndWrite event. Who's down? #writesky #writingcommunity @suaw.bsky.social #SUAW

It's Shut Up and Write Time again with @hannahhughes.bsky.social! ☕️👩🏻‍💻📚🖊 #acrwri #academia #SUAW #pomodoros #writing

Sprinting in company with other writers can be surprisingly effective. In the Shut Up And Write group I attend, we often hear about blocks shattered, blank pages filled. It’s a great way to build a regular writing habit 🙂 #SUAW is free, in person or online.

Started the week right with a Monday morning Shut Up and Write with my @ccse-ljmu.bsky.social Writer’s Group. Coffee and friendly faces resulted in two productive hours #acwri #suaw

SUAW was okay today. I did five pages of free writing on a theme that I don't think will go anywhere. It felt good, though. And then a beer with a friend afterward? Well, that was fantastic. #writingcommunity #WriteSky #SUAW

Good weird day, but that one productive hour? Oh, that will carry me through tomorrow.

Shut Up and Write is a writing group either in person or on-line. You get together with other writers and write for a short period of time.

Good session today. A one-person Shut Up and Write (I forgot the core group meeting was cancelled today, Oops!). Morning pages, some prompt work, and then notes on a novel idea. Decent haul for 60 minutes. With a pint (and a half) of Finnegans, no less. #writers ✍️ #writing #writsky #SUAW

The sign on the cafe table reads "Welcome to Shut Up and Write". Out the window there is sunshine, umbrellas and the bay in the distance.

Loving being at Deakin's Waterfront campus for Shut Up and Write. So beautiful. Come and join us at Waterfront Pantry every Thursday, 9:30 - 11:30 am.

And huge thanks to wonderful colleagues at La Trobe and Deakin for making sure we all shared a wonderful and productive atmosphere 🤩 We might have been AcWriMoNious - but only in t-shirts 😉 #SUAW @tseenster.bsky.social @netstah.bsky.social @roseychang.bsky.social @jod999.bsky.social @wadekelly.com

Fortunate to join the #AcWriMo writing retreat, jointly run by #DeakinRDA & LaTrobe Uni, from the "Glass Room". Feels like we're in a gallery display! Almost the end of day 2/3.

Fun to co-host with:

Hahahaha! How did I miss this dig 4 days ago? C'mon, I've been itching to have a platform to post it on for months, MONTHS! 😂 And then a flood of #SUAW conference news came flooding my way on here as soon as I joined - I took it as a sign.

This is a great article - as the author says, once you get to read it: don’t let the title put you off! It’s very pro- #shutupandwrite #SUAW

I don’t work Mondays anymore - so we got some extra hangout time with friends and are now driving back to Glasgow. My brain is still buzzing from the #SUAW symposium. I will try and catch up with everyone over the next few weeks…

At #shutupandwrite symposium: @bolzle.bsky.social is sharing about @writingpartner.bsky.social Writing Partners, the non-profit organisation that sits behind #SUAW.

Sessions might have a different, local name.
