Day 26 -- Eat a Little Pie

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and I always make my pies the day before. I like them better the next day anyway. It gives the pies time for the flavors to mingle and get stronger. Think of writing like making a pie. You have your basic ingredient, your major flavor just like your main idea and then you add your basic wet ingredients and your basic dry ingredients. These are your story conflicts. Just like a three act play. Act one mixes your dry, these are easy to mix and they follow a set pattern. Act two mixes your wet ingredients. This is a little more involved. Each ingredient has to be added in just the right order and with the right amount of stirring. You add that special ingredient last and this is your black moment. The finial step is to add the wet to the dry and put it into the oven to bake to your conclusion. And with my pies I get the perfect resolution and final outcome. All that's left to do is to eat the sweet satisfaction of the end to a good story. So lets make a pie.
