SHUT THE F*CK UP AND WRITE

25 minute of no voices... 25 minutes of scribbling and the tap tap tap of fingers to keys. That is the power of 'Shut up and Write' in the La Trobe campus of Shepparton in room 1. The best selling point of this little group is that you can easily focus on your assignments without any distractions from home such as... the fridge, the television, the laptop, phone or any electronic items. Unless you need the laptop to write with but I struggle with writing on laptops and computers because of the temptations of social media and PC gaming. So this time I wrote on paper. I pushed through the cramps in my hands. I focused on the words flowing in my brain, down to my arm and into the pen as I watched my hand messily write the words onto the paper changing tenses and using terrible grammer (intended). Depending on how fast you are, it is easy to push out 100-300 words onto paper or computer. If I can easily study at home I would definitely implement this way of studying into my assignments and work load. However I do prefer driving to my work on my days off, buying some food to get a discount on it and also free coffees while watching Uni lectures and listening to music on Youtube.

  1. Love it Jess! Such a pity you couldn't be at the writing workshops today - I think you would have loved them. But you're just gonna invent your own prompts. How about 100 words on the Shepparton cows? :-)
