Why can’t I bring a typewriter?

Once upon a time, we worked in a co-working space. One of the co-working space inhabitants would regularly bring in a typewriter and clack clack clack away incessantly. To say the clack clack clack was annoying is an understatement. It’s an arbitrary rule. Deal with it.

If you want to talk, there are plenty of other places you can talk. You can talk any time before or after the session. We want you to write, not talk.

What happens if I talk?

You’ll be politely asked to STFU.

What happens if I keep on talking?

You’ll be impolitely asked to STFU and potentially defenestrated.

Do I have to talk to anyone at all?

No. It’s perfectly fine to come in, sit down, start writing, realise it's all complete cactus, push through, write some more, think to yourself “actually, that’s okay”, look up, realise there’s only 5 more minutes left, scribble a few cursory notes to yourself and then leave.
