Welcome

Welcome to Calliope's Coffee House the proprietor of this establishment is Jacquie Reaville better known as The Book Imp.

When I started this place it was primarily for book reviews and thoughts on all things literary. Well the book reviews are still here, but somehow it's grown into a place for me and others to practice short fictional writing and of course a place where I can give my thoughts and opinions on virtually any subject that might take my fancy.

Hope you enjoy your visit.

Just to add that I welcome comments, the more the merrier. They don't even have to be related to books or writing just go wild (not too wild though).

Permissions are set so that even anonymous users can answer - but comment moderation is in effect which means I get to say yes or no to letting them appear here.

The Calliope Experiment #2

This is something I started for myself, hoping that it would get me motivated to practice my writing skills. So just as an idea I'm throwing it open to everyone else, if you care to participate that's great if not that's still ok.

If you want to take part then the way of working it, I would suggest, would be for everyone to take a copy of the pictures that I post here and then write their 500 words or more fiction on their own blog, then post the link to that entry back here in the comment section for everyone else to see, visit and hopefully comment on your creative writing. Much as is being done for countless other groups in blogger, multiply and elsewhere.

A new image will go up every week on a Saturday and the following Saturday will be the deadline for the writing on that image. You're welcome to copy the button and post it on your blog too if you wish. The link to go with the button is http://jacbookishly.blogspot.com/search/label/Calliope%20Ex

Previous weeks pictures will be posted to one of my side bars and linked back to the deadline blog for that picture. Any suggestions for images would be greatly appreciated.

So here's this week's picture.



Experiment #2 - Deadline Saturday 24 May 2008

"The Sleepless Night" by Lisa at Books on the Brain

The Calliope Experiment #1

"If a picture's worth a thousand words" as the song goes. I'm not asking for 1,000 only 500. So 500 words by Saturday, on whatever the picture pushes into the mind and out of the fingers. Let's see what happens.





Now I'm pretty sure that Collective Chris probably won't post anything so it will be up to me. Until Saturday 17th May then.

Here is this week's contributor:

"The Birthday Gift" by Jacquie Reaville at Calliope's Coffee House
