You've come up with an idea...
and you've chosen your characters...
and you have a space to create...
So....
Plug in that machine...
and lay out your plot...
Remember you'll need plenty of these to keep everything straight...
(and yes, you might get a few pin pricks...)
But soon you'll have a beginning...
And a bit of a middle...
And a bit of an end...
Sure, there will be hiccups along the way...
And you might discover you've made three of these...
But sooner or later, you'll have a finished project.
Of course, mine looks like they did in 1935!
I am partial to classic designs. :)

Gorgeous and I love the metaphor!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the pin pricks. Too many of those!

Romance with a Twist--of Mystery
Elspeth - Oh, now this is a wonderful analogy! I just love it! And let's face it, stories are as varied as patterns are, so there's lots of room for creativity.
ReplyDeleteMichele; As am I!
ReplyDeleteJan; I was pleased when I realized it would work!
Terry; Ain't that the truth...
Margot; Don't forget being able to rip out seams and re-sew them when it doesn't fit quite right!
I never fail to smile when you post one of your picture messages :-)
ReplyDeleteSarah; What a kind thing to say. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny. And the first thing I thought of is how I used to sew and got so frustrated at the number of times I had to rip out zippers before I'd get it right. I think I'm still doing that with my manuscripts. :)
