| SELF PORTRAIT AT THE TIME (Includes favourite skins, and Polaroid film pack tucked into trendy denim bib) |
A friend of mine, Mandy Wheeler, who's a gifted copywriter and radio producer, amongst other things sent me a message she got from a writer in America. Mandy has written an inspirational little book called Tell An Outrageous Lie, which contains nearly 200 vignettes, some real, some imagined, that are designed to kick-start the story-teller in you; to give your creative block an enema or two. (Actually, there are 188 of the critters, one of my faves: 'A picture of an offal shop, a giant snowball and graffiti saying Can you see me?')
Her friend's donation was this: 'I have a dollar bill which has a strong scent of perfume, and not an expensive one. There's a story to be told here.'
And in no more than 650 words.
