This may come as a bit of a surprise, but I’ve written
several picture book manuscripts. One that I recently modified has rhymes and
rhythms and specific numbers of beats. After my critique group offered a few
areas to edit, I labored over the changes. Which new words could ever replace
to the ones I had chosen? They fit perfectly. Of course, given the enormous
number of words and ways to rephrase them, there is more than one perfect way to write a story. Here’s a guy who might
agree:
Another video on the same story stated that the young man
is an orphan who lived with friends. But, his detour worked out since he has a
new job, strangers have stepped forward to offer a year’s worth of bus tickets,
other people have offered him an apartment, and a cell phone. They say when
life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If you’re facing a rough patch in life,
don’t give up. Just because life’s not going the way we expect, doesn’t mean it
won’t turn out well. A wonderful detour may be waiting around the corner. What
helps you to navigate life’s surprising detours?
