This Sunday, 21st May, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge.
A respectable, upright, middle class Englishman wakes to find his Spanish host has disappeared, along with the rest of the household at Wisteria Lodge. And then just as Mr. Scott Eccles is about to tell his story to Holmes, two police inspectors arrive with the news that his host Garcia has been found murdered...
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. As usual, her housemaid Rachel will be suggesting a poem for us to read to give us added inspiration, and there will also be a new poetry form to try: the décima.
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!
