Christine Gerber Rutt - Intuitive Guide

Instead of just saying you want to write, shut up & write. It’s probably not about trying harder or having more willpower.

It’s probably about creating the right environment & support.

Most first-timers say they can.not.believe. how much writing they got done.

Unlike many writing groups this group uses a time-tested format: gather, write, repeat.

No critiques.

No feedback.

Just writing.

Simple. Effective. Week after week.

Whether you’re writing a novel, zines, poetry, non-fiction, dissertation or “just” writing work emails or journaling, all writers in all languages are welcome.

Join when you can. Registration is always appreciated but drop ins are always welcome.

It’s time to shut up & write.

More space for rabbit hole wonderlands, please, thank you, you’re welcome. That is all.

If you’re curious, the Incomplete Directory for (English-speaking) Writers in Basel (& Switzerland) is on my website with more than 50 resources from writing groups to grants to readings, lectures, workshops, readings, reading, and more.

I’m sharing this because I love it.
I love that someone had an idea & made it a physical thing that anyone can see it as they walk past this window on their way to the Uni Spital or Dan’s Lab or Gniessbar or Bread Love or the river. You only need to pause and notice what is there. Do you pause? Do you notice? Or are you rushing, unaware of the city around you?
