"I started Bum Glue Club - because I needed to make an appointment with myself to dedicate time to write - which I knew I'd cancel - unless others were relying on me to make an appointment for them to do the same."
Such an awesome and inspiring event!
I surprised myself with how much work I got through...
Brilliant writing night. Stuff was done!
I now have more words on the page... I enjoyed putting them there.
It was great to see what oozed out of the recesses of my mind
Fabulous initiative!
I LOVE THIS!
So it's a Tuesday night & pleased to report I invoked #bumglueclub this evening...
This is a very fun writers' event that happens every single month in St Kilda.
Your lovely host Katrina Mathers, invites you to sit down, glue your bum to a chair and just
WRITE all the things you've been putting off: your novel, screenplay, poem, etc.

WHAT ELSE
The first rule of Bum Glue Club, is you have to write.
You don't have to share what you're working on, but you are free to if it helps. Anyone who contributes to an idea, must give permission for the originator to use that idea. We only ask people respect confidentiality, and also give thanks, by way of a credit to #BumGlueClub if something gets made as a result.
We've already had many success stories - all kinds of works made, funded, presented or published.
