The idea of Everything Has Three is a philosophy I have for living, and not necessarily the rock solid truth of anything else; as a tool.
A dapper kinda bow-tie, a happy kinda bow-tie; a sprung monkey kinda a bow-tie.
here we have the second independent clause overpowering the first. Not only over powering but redefining the first independent clause, which is now obviously not independent. The first is definitely dependent on the second clause for meaning. So the first clause has two layers of meaning. The sprung monkey has layers of meaning -- but more importantly, the visual of the windup monkey banging his cymbals made of tin -- just before a large spring goes sprung. Soon as sprung our mind -- frantically grasping -- pulls back the words of that first independent clause, to see if there was something we didn't notice. And there is... sarcasm.
This is the story head
Each of these three areas, whatever you choose to call them, are "areas" or plots. The main topic head of the story, is also the head of the plot. Home Life, is then the main plot continued. The life and Work Life are then strong subplots.
This isn't an outline, it is a plot line, and a story line perhaps, but not the outline of a story or a novel.
But what we have here, which I use most often, is a story creation machine, or template. I prefer engine. A story engine. Perhaps a Function for those programmers out there looking for story ideas.
This begins the story, the idea. The idea, and then the question, and the ending. For the ending, write out the idea and the question, and then the best possible outcome ("best" being completely objective). Then choose your objective correlative. For this story, it will be Teasy Cheasy.
This switch over should be high in emotional value. Hilarity, as far as I'm concerned is an emotional value. If I were going to write this one, just from the feel of it, this part would be up for some verbal slapstick and daunting foot-in-mouth disease, as his goal of more me time is brought in as the head of the household might, and then not only equalized, but found not equal to the task of understanding his own goal.
... or something like that... meh. You can do better than that, so show me. But here is where things look like they are going wrong. Things are out of joint. It is not the same Kansas as it was yesterday.
... what if the hokey-pokey really is what it's all about -- Steven Wright.
