Once said something
like this:
There are two types of writers:
Architects & Gardeners.
Architects plan everything ahead of time.

Like an Architect
They know how many rooms they will build,

And the kind of plumbing to install.

Everything is designed & blueprinted before nailing the first board.
Then there are Gardeners.
Gardeners dig holes.
They drop in seeds.
They water them.

They know what they planted.
They know
if they planted
fantasy seeds...
or mystery seeds.
Gardeners have
some idea of a
plant's shape.
But Gardeners don’t
know how many
branches to expect.
They don't know the exact color and shape of leaves or petals.
And much depends on how much blood Gardeners give.
As seedlings grow...
