Shut Up & Write!

Live from Niigata, it's Saturday Night! — October 03, 2026

Part of: Live from Niigata, it's Saturday Night!

When: October 03, 2026, 11:00 PM – 1:15 AM

Location: Online

Coming to you from the rice fields of Japan's 47th-most touristed Prefecture, David G-M and their horde of neko-chans and wan-chans make a chill, comfortable space to gather and support one another as we write...or pay bills...or fold the laundry. Whatever you could use a little encouragement and accountability to get done! We'll chat a bit as people gather, followed by a quick check-in of our plans for the session. Then we'll have two 50-minute writing blocks with a 5-10 minute break in between. At the end there'll be an optional check-out to share how the time went for each of us—no pressure, no judgment. [I used to run sessions obut of Seattle on Monday and Friday mornings Pacific time, but now relocated to Japan, so had to start a new group because of the 16–17 hour time difference. However, Heather and Nick are doing a great job hosting my original groups, give them a visit!
