Then you'll need a Toaster and a few aloe plants. :)
Plot, as in cemetary lot...
Thus spake the Hollywood movie producers and writers....
I'm off to a silly mtg. It is very silly, but it resuces me from writing my accomplishements. Hurray!
Dunno but I just got part of one. If I use this character that way, and change the chronology, then all I need are the bad guys. And the details.
*sigh* back to writing.
That's where you'll find yer bad guys. Devil's in the details ya know.
whoohoo, that was a palindrome!
Hmmm...
How 'bout a large contingent of aloe plant refugees held hostage in a palindrome by an evil toaster storm???
Are there ninja? Because I'm not sure my plot has any ninja yet so maybe I should switch.
The heroine could have a cranky toaster... easily.
On a not completely unrelated note, we're seeing "Little Shop of Horrors" on stage next week.
Hmmm, maybe we should all try to work in something - an aloe plant, a toaster - to our stories. That could be fun.
I think I may walk home today. It's a nice day for a long walk and might give me time to plot.
Well, in one little short story I wrote a while ago, the heroine took a commission to design a carniverous plant for a Senator. The Senator then proceeded to feed his political enemies to it. :P
You could call it "Teddy."
I like that idea!
I already know the toaster's role. There's a fire at the heroine's partner's apartment. I needed a plausible cause that the authorities would cite - but it is really arson and meant to intimidate our heroic agents. An "antique" toaster would do it. "It's a family heirloom and works just fine! You should really try old-fashioned, real toast sometime instead of that vat-grown packaged stuff." *chortle*
Hmmm... interesting. Would PETA support him?
I'd be happy to work a story into my story. :)
My heroine could keep an aloe plant in her apartment. How hard are they to grow? Would it die while she's off robbing Euroweenie art collections?
The toaster is harder...
People Evading Toasters and Aloe?
They are desert plants and mighty tough. They don't like extreme cold, though they can take some frost. They need lots of light and heat and like well-drained soil.
