Inspiration, that's the key!Posted on 2008/02/18 17:41:18 (February 2008).   So yesterday morning I went jogging. I liked it cose the air was singularly crisp and pure. I could literally eat mouthfuls of it. Pleasure for the lungs, pleasure for the brain. When writing, you need to get inspiration from people. It can be done either by a close observation of those people in their environment, or......... you read female magazines! I love female magazines! It's full of anecdotes on our habits, our vices, our sexuality. The perfect stuff for a perfect story! And so I bought the last issue of Jeune et Jolie, a French magazine for spotty teenage girls viewing themselves as (fully grown) women. I'm also stealing Christelle's mags on pregnancy (oh, btw, she's 6 months pregnant)! There too, there are many juicy stories deserving remembrance. From time to time I tear a page or two which I ceremoniously insert and preserve in a binder. My collection. My pride. Having finished the rewrite of A French Summer (I will have to change that title), I will now resume the writing of A comedy of Manners which, as you know, involves the lot of you, guys...! The pics above depict one of my latest aquisitions on ebay. A Roman fibula with a very nice patina. Had to fight for it. Comment 1 CONGRATULATIONS!!!:D I wonder if those magazines are full of sex stories and the likes... I remember that in Italy we have a mag called Cioe', it's really a great read if you want to sample what goes through a female teenager mind... Posted by Lox at 2008/02/18 18:55:24. Comment 2Ah, I can see why you had to fight for those broaches!! Marvellous! Incredibly god codition.
