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.

I am happy with how I spend the hours in my day. I do, however, have many many many ways to make myself happy. This small but important fact explains why I need more hours in a day …

I’ve been doing some fun stuff lately, in addition to my editing and novel-writing. I’ve been working on a few short pieces to send to small magazines. They are all ideas that germinated here, so I don’t feel TOO bad when I only get slightly inspired —- or when my creative energy is spent by the time I can get to my own writing exercises.(By the way, did you know that Fiona has a short piece of fiction in the new edition of Matrix magazine, out of Montreal? It’s the Matrix “New Feminisms” issue #85, Co-edited by Melanie Bell & Karis Shearer.) I’ve also been developing some cool new workshop ideas, I’ll be speaking to some highschool students next week, and I am doing some review work too.

I’m quite pleased that next week does not have a theme.
