\"\"Let\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist\u00a0Nevada McPherson<\/a> as she shares with us “Tales of the Unexpected!\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

When I was a child I enjoyed staying up late at night to watch television (when I was allowed, that is.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

One show that always intrigued me was Roald Dahl\u2019s Tales of the Unexpected<\/em><\/a>. It always started with a voiceover as bright lights were turned on, revealing close shots of carousel horses with a dark background.<\/p>\n

At the end of the voiceover when the announcer claimed that wise men always \u201cexpect the unexpected,\u201d the carousel lit up and began to spin slowly, as carnival music played.<\/p>\n

Some of the stories were quite scary and others just odd, but I always found the opening with the carousel horses disconcerting and quite fascinating.<\/p>\n

Writing Schedule<\/h2>\n

Sometimes the unexpected throws us off of our writing schedule and out of our comfort zone.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the unexpected things that happen are quite scary and other times just odd little curveballs here and there.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve experienced some unexpected events this winter when both my husband and my mother were hospitalized with strokes. These were scary times for me as I worried about my loved ones.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing like an emergency health crisis<\/strong> to focus the mind on the important things in life. As we focus on those things it can only enrich our appreciation for our loved ones and all that we are most grateful for.<\/p>\n

Would we have fully appreciated all this as much if the emergency hadn\u2019t redirected our thoughts? What good can we take from these experiences that will enrich our lives, relationships, ad writing?<\/p>\n

Side effect<\/h2>\n

One side effect of spending a good deal of time in hospitals and medical facilities<\/strong> lately is that I\u2019ve gained some insight into just how much matters concerning health care touch people\u2019s lives on so many levels.<\/p>\n

Each hospital is an institution filled with individuals: caregivers, case workers, food servers, cleaning staff and many patients, each with a unique story.<\/p>\n

Hospitals and healthcare facilities are worlds of their own, yet a part of everyone\u2019s world at some point.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never thought of these things much before, but now I\u2019m conscious of these things on a deeper level, al because of unexpected events.<\/p>\n

I may have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating.<\/p>\n

As one of my favorite authors Garrison Keillor<\/a> once said on his radio show A Prairie Home Companion:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no bad experiences for a writer. Everything \u2013 everything is material.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether good, bad, or unexpected, certain events cause our lives to spin in another direction, like a plot point, pinch or act break in a screenplay, or a new chapter in a novel.<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re watching a movie or reading a book,<\/strong> we can\u2019t wait to see how the main character will deal with the unexpected.<\/p>\n

He or she didn\u2019t see it coming, and neither did we the audience, or if we did, we don\u2019t know yet how our protagonist\/hero\/main character will prevail.<\/p>\n

When we writers have to be the protagonists of our own tales of the unexpected, that\u2019s what we learn, and that makes us stronger.<\/p>\n

Happy writing!<\/strong><\/p>\n
