A glimpse into how my mind works when given five random words to include in a story inspired by a certain dress. A glimpse into how I fit writing into my life (clipboard, longhand and, what you can’t see, my son sitting on my lap when I took ten minutes to brainstorm this). Proof that there will be a story today! P.S. Note that I can’t spell feisty! And that, even though I could probably sew this dress without a pattern, I can’t sketch to save my life. No Project Runway for me, then.

Fiona Callow's blog about getting inspired and staying inspired. Yes, this is the home of "Try It On Tuesday" -- that’s when I take a dress, try it on, have a photo taken, then write something inspired by the dress that gets posted on Tuesday. (If the mood strikes I sometimes post more often, too.) It's a writing exercise for me, something I designed to keep writing fun for me. (I write these stories fast, usually in the gaps in my day. I am also writing a novel.) What's the point of all this, you ask? For me: mental stimulation, staying creative, trying out new ideas ... For you: frivolity, procrastination, a reprieve from the chaos of your life. You get to read some fiction. I get to write some. It's a win-win situation.
