Also interesting to hear the range of creative work that's being done in #shutupandwrite - computer programmers, graphic novelists and even people who just go along to write their journal. Writers of all different experience levels as well.

Next up at #shutupandwrite we're hearing from @jod999.bsky.social who asks 'who's in, who's out?' Of a shut up and write session? Special sessions for different groups - design is made up of conscious and unconscious choices.
