What good's a great plot

When your characters cannot

Roll it up the hill?

///

What good’s a setting

Lying lifeless on the page—

Like buried bodies?

///

Nurture and nourish

Then toss them all out the nest

Let your heroes fly!

A/N:

Always remember--characters over everything. Back to the lab. Happy Holidays everyone!
