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.

erm …

Have I really not posted since JUNE???!!!??? My word.

Well, I can offer very little in the way of excuses. I did have to watch every match of the the World Cup (Fiona is a card-carrying kickette); I did have to enjoy the summer heat that has enveloped my neck of the woods (hello, beach, I love you); I did have to take some steps toward remunerative employment at some point in my future (some of these did not pan out, others may yet). Those are all pitiful excuses for not writing, I think you will agree.

So, I am back. Again. Smiley faces all around.

I am working on a little story at the moment, called “Everything is here except the sparkle,” and it will get posted just as soon as I have the time to add more to it. I’m thinking Thursday is likely. It might be Wednesday evening. I’ve got the opening line:

“The small shop just past the corner of Mullon and Rhodes consigned a good number of the more extravagant frivolities of the neighbourhood”

I’m not sure where it will go from there …
