Story

I have come to the conclusion, through the collective unconscious or otherwise, that a story is like a jigsaw puzzle. A story can be massive, encompassing a domain of ten thousands pieces or more. It can also be quite small, comprised of a meager twenty-four pieces. Regardless of size, the story cannot come together unless all of the pieces fit in place. There may be some fascinating or dazzling aspects of a story, but may never find itself in the puzzle you're working on. It cannot be forced, for the end result will look sloppy and misplaced. This ends with a broken story, as is a forced jigsaw puzzle ends with broken pieces. That is why one must simply, through trial and error or by another means, find out which pieces belong in the set story line. Depending on the story you're working on, it may take a few minutes. One may even spend an entire lifetime working on it. But in the end, when all is completed, the big picture should most definitely be astoundingly remarkable. The beauty of a story, as with a jigsaw puzzle, is that there are a variety to choose and work from. Just because you can't finish one doesn't mean all is for naught. Instead, think of it in terms of preparation. Perhaps you're not ready for this particular story, and should instead spread your net wide so that you may learn to complete other stories as well. If one were to devote all of their time to one singular story, why, that would make them a one-trick pony. Wouldn't it?

In lieu of presentable artwork, I have but my own musings to exhibit. After all, this is my blog, is it not? So until the next piece can finally grace its nakedness upon the world wide web, I shall leave you with nothing but a farewell.
