Actually, the ability to take an object or subject and turn it into a lesson has evolved from 12 years of writing editorials for FundsforWriters! Don't get out of the chair until the story has been spun. Hey, that leads to yesterday's post!

Roosters? Hens? What about raising chickens could apply to writing? But as I've discovered, there is NOTHING that you cannot connect to the process/business of writing/publishing.<br /><br />Perhaps you could have a contest, and the participants could throw far-fetched subjects at you...You would then make the writing connection. Trimming your toenails! (Wait, I just thought of a way to make that metaphor work!) Having to go to a get-together with in-laws you're not fond of...Nothing. Running out of shampoo and having to make do...Oooh, I thought of a way to connect it to revising!<br /><br />Anyway, in my digressing way: great post!Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
