Write Alone, Together

Ever dreamed of having a cozy corner all to yourself—just for writing—yet somehow never found the time, space, or motivation to actually put pen to paper? That’s exactly why Writers Without a Cause exists.

Held fortnightly at Bayside Makerspace in Chelsea, this isn’t a class—it’s a gentle invitation to meet yourself at your notebook. Whether you're penning a novel, doodling cartoons, journaling your soul, writing social posts, or even drafting letters you've been meaning to send… this is your space to show up and write with no expectations, no judgement, and all the company of fellow scribblers.

It’s about finding the rhythm of your words—together—without pressure, curriculum, or critique (unless you ask for it). Just writers, writing. The result? You walk out feeling creatively recharged, inspired, and closer to your inner storyteller.

Ready to write your heart out—with others by your side? Join us.

This is writing. Together.

Why writing is important

Clarity of Thought
Writing forces you to slow down and organize your ideas. It helps transform swirling thoughts into structured, clear communication—whether for yourself (journaling, planning) or for others (emails, reports, creative works).
Self-Expression & Creativity
It’s a way to explore and express your voice, emotions, and imagination. Writing lets you tell your story, share your perspective, or even build whole new worlds through poetry, fiction, or journaling.
Memory & Learning
The act of writing things down strengthens memory and understanding. That’s why note-taking, reflective writing, and summarizing are powerful learning tools.
Connection & Communication
Writing bridges people across time and space—whether in letters, books, blogs, or social posts. It allows ideas, stories, and knowledge to be shared widely and preserved for others.
Personal Growth & Healing
Writing can be therapeutic. From journaling about emotions to crafting gratitude lists, it supports mental health, resilience, and self-discovery. It’s often described as a form of self-care.

What our Writers think!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had the best time at the Writers Without A Cause event. Sez has cultivate an incredibly inspiring space filled with intention props and snacks. She took good care of us, providing us with prompts for writing and quiet time to get our words on the page with the perfect playlist in the background. I wasn't sure if I had the energy to go after a long workday but being in that space re-energized me. The perfect accountability for whatever project you're working on! Highly recommend - it'll have a regular spot on my calendar!

Attending Writers Without a Cause was just the thing I needed to kickstart my creative writing again. It was a really positive and supportive environment and I really appreciated having somewhere I can go to purely think creatively.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I attended the creative writing class and it was so lovely. I didn't have a project, but Sez had plenty of writing prompts to chose from which was very helpful. It worked out well as I was able to try haiku which I hadn't done since high school. No matter what class or event is on at Bayside Makerspace I never want to miss it.Thank you Sez for providing such a beautiful space.

Lovely to have a space to write with like-minded individuals and some evening focus time. I'm not good at focusing in the evenings, but I got plenty of words down. Thanks Sez for hosting, I will see you again!

Sez was very welcoming and I immediately felt at ease walking into the warm creative space. I found the relaxed setting and informal structure of the session helpful to get into a writing flow and the time flew by. The camaraderie of the other members was knowledge and helpful. It was a perfect way to spend a cold winters night and I’m looking forward to the next session.
