The Importance of Bum Glue

The American mystery writer, Elizabeth George, wrote a book on the art of novel writing called "Write Away". An excellent read for the aspiring writer with a lot of practical tips.

One chapter is titled "The Importance of Bum Glue" and notes that it is important to plant your bum in front of your computer every day and bang out your required word count, no matter what. Elizabeth George does this every single day whether she is at home, out of the country doing research or being wined and dined on a book tour. Rain or shine, good mood or bad, earthquake or nuclear meltdown, Elizabeth George completes her required word count.

My bum glue is defective....I am often distracted. Family commitments, work pressures, cake, noisy dogs, a sudden urge to go into town to buy a shower curtain, cake, Buffy the Vampire Slayer re-runs, Stumble upon, cake.....you get the point.

Does anyone know where I can buy some bum glue that is actually sticky?
