A favourite one-liner I saw online:
When you don't like the way your life is going, look up at the sky and yell, "PLOT TWIST!"
Lately life has seemed like a roller coaster. But that's a terrible cliche. The editor in me wants to improve that overused phrasing.
Instead of a roller coaster, I've decided to see life as a San Francisco cable car.
Sure, I'm still going over some steep hills and then back down them.
But I'm hanging onto the handrail and enjoying the pretty scenery instead of just feeling nauseated.

That's a good way to look at things! Enjoy the scenery, and hopefully, the ride will become smoother over time.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Eventually I'll be in Golden Gate Park, where the terrain is flat and where I might spot an owl if I'm lucky.
DeleteA plot twist would be nice in my life right about now. Good advice: Might as well enjoy the ride.

Janie, hope you get some good plot twists soon.
DeleteSorry; that was me.
DeleteLove the "plot twist" resolution. I think it's why we create worlds on the page where we can conjure those
ReplyDeleteRight! And everything that happens, no matter how bad, is potential story material.
