Virtual Shut Up and Write
DATE:

Tuesday 02 September 2025

TIME:

10:30am - 12:30pm

ONLINE MEETING DETAILS:

What is Shut Up and Write? Basically, it's a chance for a group of students to get together virtually over Zoom to have a coffee and chat, then spend 1.5 hours writing in 25-minute blocks with 5-minute breaks in between.

During writing time, there are no interruptions: no phones, no talking. During the breaks, you can talk about writing and other things, have a snack, have a stretch, take a few deep breathes, refill your mugs and then get back to writing!

How can I prepare in advance to get more done?

  • Have a writing plan and materials prepared (articles, notes, chart) so you are able to concentrate on your writing without any interruptions.
  • Set your own target of how much writing you want to achieve during the shut up and write session.
  • Focus on drafting new material for the thesis as opposed to editing, revising, or re-hashing existing content.
