Edit: Well…dang. That’ll teach me. When I set the blog up and scheduled it, I had the date and time right–today and 6 o’clock. Except I forgot to punch the AM button so this wouldn’t have appeared until this evening. My brain some days… Sorry for the delay. I know all of you are chomping at the bit waiting for my words of…stuff. I didn’t discover the discrepancy until I got back from peopling this morning. Anyway. Here. Better late than never, right?
You might wonder why I mentioned “plotting” in the subject/title line, especially after you read the message from the Universe. It more precisely describes a pantser. You writers know what I’m talking about. For readers who might night, writers usually describe themselves in one of two ways: Plotter or Pantser. A plotter outlines, might have a story board, and usually has copious notes to self and from research. Pantser write by the seat of their pants. They get an idea for a story and start writing, creating characters, places, plot twists and stopping to researc as they go. There are hybrids: Plantser or Plotsers. Then there are the truly weird like me: Puzzlers.
You don’t have to understand all that happens, figure out every twist in the plot, or even know why the winds sometimes blow as they do, Silver, to grasp that I do, I have, and that ultimately each and every story has a fairytale ending.

P.S. Even my romantic comedies, Silver, have happy endings.
Anyway, I thought this message from the big U was apropos for writers and readers alike. I mean seriously, don’t we all want a fairytale ending? And Happy Endings are a given, according the U.
I guess I’m a pantzer!! I just start typing and whatever happens…..happens.
That’s pretty much how it works. LOL
😁😁😁
Yes, I thin we all do want a HEA. The Big U is right again.
So, you’re a puzzler😉. Does that mean you pick the pieces and then place them?
Peopling stinks. I had to take my car for it’s yearly oil and brake fluid changes. It took them 2 1/2 hrs. Hubs was alone all that time. I had his phone charged and on but he never answered it. When I got home he had eaten lunch – 3 HUGE Mexican chocolate cookies. At least he ate.
I hope your day is going well.😊
How to explain a puzzler… 🤔
I start with the “straight edges”–main characters, setting, general idea of the storyline. Then I write the scenes I know are going to happen, or I get inspired by a prompt, song, idea, overheard conversation 😉 so I have all these “pieces put together into a bigger p;iece” that get fiddled with until they fit into the outer framework of those “straight pieces.” Trust me, I really wish I could just sit down, start at Point A and write straight through the story. I’m serious when I say my muse runs with scissors. Iffy drives me crazy! Of course, I’m a bit on the ADD side too so it’s not entirely her fault… *looks shifty-eyed*
Yikes on the 2 1/2 hours and Hubs not answsering. You were probably out of your mind! Hope the home visit goes well tomorrow AND your doc appt! Hang in there. ,3
I’m trying to learn to use scheduling too and I have messed up a few times.
I usually forget to either change the time or the AM/PM. I normally get the date right. LOLOL
