Associations and the Ripple Effect

Smooth The Path

One of my favorite picture books as a little kid was “ Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo.” If I remember the story right, it went a little something like this: a little beetle sneezes and the force of the sneeze makes a seed from a nearby plant pop off a branch. The falling seed boinks a worm on the head. So the worm gets mad and kicks a tree which continues a chain reaction of unpleasantness involving all sorts of animals and then humans in ever-increasing groups, culminating in a s

Projects Are Like Puzzles

Smooth The Path

Writing is like solving a puzzle. The first draft is plain. During the second draft, lots of delightful stories are added. Except upon reflection, you might find not all the stories are all that entertaining. The third draft is for swapping out the stories that don’t work and rewriting the stories that do. This process feels a lot like selecting a puzzle piece and rotating it around to see if you can get it to fit, and when it doesn’t, trying another piece.
