In case you’re asking what this “PI” talk has to do with writing, I’m glad you asked. 😉 Many books have been written with holiday themes, which I personally love. Christmas-themed books have been popular with many readers, in addition to romance tales set close to Valentine’s Day.
But even a lesser-known “holiday” such as PI Day can be inspiration for a story. As I recently thought about this, my writer’s brain took off! I imagined a math professor, obsessed with his numerical equations and formulas, and a lady who wants to capture his attention. So, of course she bakes a pie for him on PI Day. At first, he fails to see the humor, but in her lighthearted manner she finally convinces the professor to “lighten up” and not be quite so serious. Obviously, there would be much more to the story than that, but any day can be an inspiration for a story centered around it. 😊 With some imagination and creativity, writers have endless possibilities.
Author Tina Radcliffe’s excellent post last week was titled, “Eat Your Vegetables” - - so today I’m encouraging you to use your imagination, and then enjoy dessert. My suggestion is pie - - any kind! Now, I think I’ll go whip up my favorite - - butterscotch pie. Yum! Happy writing, and Happy PI (Pie) Day!
