Shut Up and Write met Pieter Jouke

Shut Up And Write (SUAW) is a writing exercise. Get ready for a full Friday morning!

Pieter's SUAW is the ultimate six pack session for your pen. What you write about, you decide at that moment with your teacher, comedian Pieter Jouke. "The big advantage of SUAW: it's not about the result, but about the effort."

Pieter Jouke, your teacher, is first and foremost a language lover. As a comedian a talented language joker, but above all fascinated by the romance of language, and the enormous power of language as a transmitter of feeling.

This is what you will do:

- Pieter, you and the other SUAW members will take some time to get used to each other.

- You discuss what the wishes are for this session.

- Pieter explains the exercise and then: write!

- You write for 30 minutes (paper and pen are ready or bring your laptop).

- Then you read it to the group.

- Then comes feedback from Pieter and your fellow writers. They answer for example: what did you feel, what did you hope, what did you not understand, what would also be fun, what did you get into, where did you get distracted?

The entire SUAW session lasts 3 hours.

Pieter: "Shut Up And Write is a format that I developed and that I really don't want to keep to myself. I ask every writer I coach to do this as much as possible. With me, but certainly also with others."
