Welcome to central coast writers

 Shut Up and Write

 Shut Up & Write! is simple: free writing sessions where writers show up and write alongside each other. No critique. No one reads your work. You just show up, shut up, and write.  Show up enough times and people start saving you a seat. The words start adding up too. That’s the whole point.
