Many will tell you writing is all about this...
or this...
But I've been doing some this...
And I suspect writing is more like this.
Let me explain....
We don't want our characters to be as flat as this...
We want them to have layers like this...
or to pop up unexpectedly, like this...
and we want our plots to be as twisty as this...
with some moments as sour as this...
and others as sweet as this...
Then there's our need for this...
 |
and gallons of this...
Yes...
The more I think about it...
I suggest we all put down this..
and pick up this.
Of course, take this post with a dash of this!
Clever! And picture perfect :)
ReplyDeleteElspeth - That's a wonderful analogy. And a well-written mystery is very much like a well-cooked meals. All of the parts complement each other and the whole is much more than the sum of the parts.
ReplyDeleteAlways love your pictographs! Thanks Elspeth :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent analogy, excellent pictures. As always!

Carol; Aren't you sweet? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMargot; I try to remember a little spice goes a long way and always leave room for dessert. (in other words, write characters readers will want another book about!)
Lady Gwen; Thanks for letting me know!
Terry; As always, thanks for taking the time to let me know.
I find myself hungry all of a sudden...
ReplyDeleteElisa; Muahahaha.
ReplyDeleteVery clever! How do you do it?

Mary Beth; I'm glad you think it's clever! I'm just pleased I came up with an idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to get chocolate cake. If anyone asks why, I'll tell them you said so :)
