Rainforest!

From Michelle, currently generating oxygen and single-handedly saving the world!

I'm currently a bit distracted because Teenager #1 is over for a visit.

Now, Teenager #1 is also a writer. And so, of course, we talk about writing. A lot. And today, when we were chatting about the different genres we write, and generally brainstorming, and talking about everything to do with absolutely everything, she came up with this great science fantasy analogy of our writing differences (hers and mine).

Here's what she had to say...

You are a Great Rainforest of the world.

Your rainforest has happy talking sunflowers, cute magical bunnies, and a giftshop in which stylish momentos of the visit may be purchased at surprisingly reasonable prices. The natives are all coordinated in the latest naturalistic fashions, and worship the gods 'Manolo' and 'Blahnik'. After a hard day of hunting/gathering/building habitation, they like to gather in the treetops and drink cosmoplitans.

Mine on the other hand, is full of man-eating plants, three headed snakes, and gaping pits of doom. The natives frequently enjoy feasting on the raw flesh of tresspassers, and the only thing they'd do with a Manolo Blahnik is figure out which end was the pointy one so they could attack you with it.

All I can say is vive la differance!
