Pencil In Space For Creative Play

We host 90 minutes creative writing workshops so you can build up writing muscles without the bore of academic exercises.

Write with people who get why this matters to you.

Writing can be lonely. We fix that. This is a room full of people who get it — the doubts, the excitement, the “what am I even doing?” moments. You don’t have to write alone (and you’ll write better when you don’t).

Stop writing openings. Start writing stories.

We take that “ooh, I have an idea” moment and actually go somewhere with it. Our process walks you from spark to something solid — not perfect, but real. A draft you can point to and say: I made this.

Leave with real pages — not just good intentions.

Start-to-finish feels rare, we get it. That’s why we break big dreams into bite-sized creative wins. Whether it's a scene, a story, or a script — we help you build momentum and walk away with actual pages.

Sound familiar…

“I keep saying I want to write… but I never actually do.”

“My brain is fried by the end of the day.”

“I miss writing just for me — not for work, not for a grade.”

“I don’t even know where to start.”

You're not alone — and you're not broken.

You just need a place to begin, and people who get it.

Our Formula For Better Writing

Block Writing on Your Calendar 

Our Promises

Come as you are — curious, rusty, unsure. If you want to write, you're in the right place.

You don’t need a degree, a portfolio, or a plan. Just bring your curiosity. We’ve got the prompts, the space, and a structure to help you face down the blank page — no pressure, no prerequisites.

Get into the flow state faster. We help you stop overthinking and just get the words down.

Overthinking? Meet your antidote. With fast-paced prompts and permission to be messy, you’ll skip the spiral and tap into that buzzy, alive-in-your-body feeling of flow — where ideas actually have space to land. When you ease up on perfection, you open up a better connection between bright ideas in your head and the words on the page. 

Upgrade writing beliefs. You don’t have to publish to call yourself a writer.

You don’t need a book deal, a sad backstory, or a daily ritual to be a writer. But you do need a space that believes in your creativity even when you don’t. We rewrite the limiting stories that keep you stuck — the perfectionism, the impostor syndrome, the “who am I to write this?” voices. Through real-time wins, generous feedback, and a community that sees your potential, you'll start to believe it too.

Show up, write something, get a round of snaps.

You showed up. You wrote. That matters. We celebrate everything from half-baked scenes to finished stories, because momentum is built on those tiny “I did it” moments. And we believe every one is worth cheering for. We can do hard things together.  

No more staring at the blank page — we’ll help you start.

Starting is the hardest part — so we start small. With a low-stakes warm-up, you’ll loosen the grip of perfection and get words moving before your inner critic even wakes up.

Train your brain to keep going — not just show up once.

Writing isn’t about one-off sparks of genius — it’s about building a rhythm you can return to. Our workshops stretch your creative stamina so you can write longer, more often, without burning out or blanking out.

Come write across all genres, backgrounds, and life paths.

Our table is open. Writers from all walks of life show up here — from teachers and expats to marketers and sci-fi nerds. You’ll see yourself reflected in the room, and you’ll hear stories you never knew you needed.

Take a break from your book without losing your writing rhythm.

Writing a book is a beautiful beast — and it can swallow you whole. When you're buried in chapters and structure and “what am I even saying anymore?”, stepping away to create something complete in one sitting can bring your spark back.

Read your words out loud — and feel proud you wrote them.

Let your art live outside of yourself. Release yourself from perfection. When you read your words out loud — and someone snaps their fingers or nods along — something shifts. You stop second-guessing and start trusting that your voice has something to say.

Practice in community so your writing doesn’t stall out.

Like a creative gym session, each prompt and peer exchange strengthens a different part of your craft — voice, structure, dialogue, detail. The more you show up, the stronger your storytelling becomes.

Quiet the noise. Learn to come back to yourself on the page.

Before we write, we breathe. A few minutes to shake off the day, close the tabs in your brain, and come back to your creative center. This isn’t just a productivity hack — it’s soul care in real time.

“I really like Ideas Write Now because it's a focus point in my week where I know that I need to show up and produce, create, write something. And that's a lovely appointment that I like to keep for myself. Rose is always there with encouragement if I need it, and it's a really lovely thing to be able to make something creatively in a group with other people.”

Evan Barry, Director of Operations, USA

I find it really enjoyable. It gets the writing juices flowing, and it really helps me in my professional life as a working writer.”
