I need your help please!

Dearest fans and followers of this blog,

I am currently writing a detective fiction novel for my french course…Unfortunately, I have no idea what the story should be about. I have a certain character in mind as the focus of this story. This is why I am asking for your help…please send in any suggestions you may have for a detective story.

Kind regards,

Please be careful. As we all know, Sherlock Holmes is an extraordinary person. For us “ordinary” people, obsessions and addictions can be quite harmful to our health. For example, spending copious amounts of time reading Johnlock fanfiction.

Suggestion time!

Dearest fans and followers of this blog,

It has been brought to my attention that there has been a lack of submission from you, the fans, as to how to become Sherlock Holmes, or even evidence of your own deductions; the last one being my very first post on this blog. In other words, if you were running this blog, what would you do differently? What would be your top tips on how to become Sherlock Holmes. It would be nice if you could send in some some suggestions through the ask or submit boxes.

Also, we are very close to 1,000 followers on this blog and as promised, I will be doing a giveaway. Not yet but very very soon.

Thank you so much to everyone who have been following my blog and a special thanks to those followers who have been following from the beginning…I really do appreciate it!

Keep deducing!

Regards,

Thinking ten steps ahead of everyone else

Sherlock Holmes always thinks ten steps ahead of everyone else; whilst the police are busy figuring out who committed the crime, Sherlock is finding five different ways of trapping the culprit.

A schema is bits of information presented as a group for better recall: When someone thinks of the schema ‘head’, they process ‘eyes’, ‘ears’, ‘nose’, ‘mouth’, ‘hair’, et cetera.

Yes. This is a helpful way to build up your memory or better yet, your memory palace, as you can have a huge network of information originating from a single word. Others might be limited in their schemas, either because they do not have the knowledge or because the word comes from a very strong, emotional memory. 

For example, if I said the word, “spider”, some of you might be thinking, “Yuck! Disgusting!” while others might be thinking, “An eight-legged arachnid”.

Depending upon the widge and depth of your knowledge, you may have a large, extremely complicated schema. I must urge you to pick up a book and read; it is one of the best ways to accumulate information.

Whether you’re on a bus, in a cinema or just out with a group of friends, you always need to refine your skills. They are just like your memories; if you do not tend to them regularly, they will gradually fade away.

Also, your posture should be straight but not so much that you look like a soldier. You must never be stiff, it will look like you are on edge and people might take advantage of that. Above all, your posture and your walk should look quite natural; it is the easiest way to avoid suspicion from others if you don’t look like you’re trying to change your posture. You can practice this by looking at yourself in the mirror.

Anonymous asked: What is a consulting detective's favourite food?

Sherlock doesn’t really eat that much food although he does enjoy a good penne arrabiata. Once, he went to a Chinese restaurant but all he ordered were fortune cookies.

In any case, Sherlock has very peculiar eating habits so I am yet to understand what his “favourite” food would be.

Question Day!

Dear fans and followers,

It’s time again to ask Sherlock and I any questions about the guide, about Sherlock or any feedback on the blog.

Sherlock and I look forward to answering your questions.
