My novel outline ….. by bilocalalia
It’s an old-fashioned phone cord
swallowing lines of communication,
tangled around its own folds,
self-consuming like an ouroboros.
It’s a fragile gold chain hopelessly
jumbled, knotted, only to be freed
with a needle and plenty of patience.
It’s an abysmal Cretan labyrinth,
a Fibonacci spiral, Burano lace.
It’s a Gordian knot calling for a knife.
Don’t worry, I’m only joking. I don’t have an outline for my novel. I approach NaNoWriMo like an adventurer without a map. As my mom would often say, “This is nice. We’ve never been lost here before!”
Inspired by Reena’s exploration challenge.
