Dalhousie University will be hosting the fifth annual writing event “W.H.I.P.S.” (Write Here, in Plain Sight) on Friday, January 21, in the Rowe Management building. It runs from 9:00-3:00. The idea behind the event is to give people the opportunity to watch others write. Writing is a skill that is taught but never actually demonstrated to people. A variety of authors write for two hour blocks while audience members are free to interact with the author. Authors vary from professors, students, fiction writers, journalists, columnists, and others.

Every word, every typo, every moment of writer’s block will be projected on large screens. Witness the horror, the struggle, and the triumph.

Writers share their thoughts as they plow through the process. Ask questions while you watch. Open to everyone!  Enter and leave whenever you like as long as you do so quietly!
