sherlock60 | Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Lion's Mane"

This Sunday, 23rd July, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Lion's Mane.

Holmes has now retired to Sussex and he and Watson seem to have drifted apart. But cases still find the former consulting detective. A young teacher dies in front of him in agony - who is his murderer? And what weapon caused the terrible marks on his back?

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 cherita.

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!
