emerging to write around Melbourne this May

I was really only going to write three posts today. And then I remembered this pic of Adam Phillips' writing room, and these terrific pieces by all the bright movers and makers involved in pulling together that annual write-fest that is so important to Melbourne's up and coming literati - The Emerging Writers' Festival. I really enjoyed reading these chunks of 'writing about writing' - like a nicely risen batch of scones, they are. Make a cuppa and enjoy. (And don't forget to check out the program.)

On next weekend, so be there.

I'm really looking forward to the EWF as well, lots of good stuff going on.

Karen, yours is one of the writing place pieces that struck me - anyone who can write in a sustained fashion in cafes can take a bow as far as I'm concerned. I can make notes, but that's about it - I find it quite difficult.
One of my kids is in the Scrabble on Saturday at BMW Edge, which is rather fun. Not why I'm plugging the festival though :-) in fact she'd hate me to do that.
