(Continued) As I was explaining in the last blog, I have a “global” and random personality, and I’m not referring to my travels. I am just not one of those people who lines up the dominoes, or hangs up my clothes in any order, or organizes the pantry. I will never, never, fold my underwear or iron my pillowcases.
You would never know this from my house because everything is sterile clean and in its place, and when I dress and fix my hair (what remains of it), every hair is in place and my clothes, etc. are matchy-matchy. So you see I am a complex creature, a human oxymoron, a paradox if you will.
And although I am trying to be a technology literate person, I prefer a microwave with two buttons, a camera that just takes pictures without all that extra stuff, a simple television remote with volume and channel controls and nothing more, and the list goes on. But, life is not that simple anymore, so I am trying to keep up with the modern, fast-changing world. After all, if there was no change, there would be no butterflies or frogs. I read that somewhere recently, but I added the frog part because it is the same concept.
This also brings me to explain how I write, which is not linear. You wouldn’t expect that, now would you? When I start a book, I know how I want it to start and how it will end, but the plot may get altered and revised from the original plan I envisioned. This may occur because some character or some place just didn’t work well together. Chapters may get moved around—several times. Sub-plots are developed as I go. That’s what makes it fun, fluid and fictitious. And all mine!
