sherlock60 | Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Resident Patient"

This Sunday, 10th July, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Resident Patient.

Dr. Percy Trevelyan comes to consult Holmes and Watson - his sponsor and resident patient is 'half out of his mind with fear' over something apparently trivial. But is Mr. Blessington right to be so afraid of uninvited guests entering his room..?

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

Each Sunday we will also have our weekly discussion post, where we discuss a topic inspired by the canon story. And there’s Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page too - any poems written about this week’s story can be left as a comment on her post. Mrs. Hudson informs me that the poetry form being revisited this week is the bref double. And newly back from her secondment to Holmes and Watson, Mrs. Hudson's housemaid Rachel will be suggesting a poem for us to read, to give us added inspiration.

You can choose one activity, or have a go at everything. Or just come along and read the 60s! (And have a chat in the comments.) All options are absolutely fine.

Hope to see you on Sunday. But don’t worry if you can’t join us then - we stay open for posting and commenting all week!
