CUTLfish Shut Up and Write
posted 20 February 2017 | Staff Announcement (staff)
The weekly writing group for Murdoch staff is back for 2017!
In these sessions Murdoch colleagues come together for sustained writing on publications, reports, award writing, funding applications – any writing you need to get DONE!
Be a big fish in a small pond and join Wednesday morning’s Shut Up and Write group. Using the well-established Pomodoro technique the sessions will consist of 2 x 25 minutes silent writing, with a 5 minute break. Don’t worry about going overtime, writing and breaks will be timed by the facilitator.
Time: Every Wednesday for 60 minutes, 9.30am to 10.30am (Commencing Week 1, 1 March)
Pond: Club Murdoch (currently located in Sir Walters Café) - reserved table
Don’t slip though the net, come along and meet that deadline. No need to commit to every week, you are welcome to join as needed
