I have bits and pieces of scenes in a huge file, but I'm also trying to push them into neat, tidy rows.

Just like people who garden or landscape for a living (like my neighbour) there are many different types of writer-for-hire, from journalists to ghostwriters. I wouldn't call a plagiarist a writer, though - that's more like someone who takes photographs of other people's gardens and passes them off as their own. When you arrive at their actual house, you see they have no garden at all.Elle Carter Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266309723919011181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-4280886603997956212019-07-11T13:14:48.350-06:002019-07-11T13:14:48.350-06:00My garden, my office, and my writing are all in un...My garden, my office, and my writing are all in untidy messes at the moment. I'm a cross between the Wildflower Gardener and the Cottage Gardener and seem to be happy here most of the time. Love the post, Elle.

With my Work in Progress, I wish I were more of a planner because it's been a mess from start to finish. Great post, Elle. One Gardener you missed. That's the one you pay to do your work, which has happened recently more than once. I pay a gardener but not a plagiarist.

Or you decide to prune some shape into the rose bushes you've had for ages and end up with a vision and passion for a series of beautifully clipped rose topiaries. <br /><br />:-)Elle Carter Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266309723919011181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-11686083032666091172019-07-11T02:42:07.812-06:002019-07-11T02:42:07.812-06:00Primarily employing the mindsets of both sculpture...Primarily employing the mindsets of both sculpture and wildflower gardeners, I typically invite the others to stop by for a visit from time to time.
