Bigger than a pot hole. Deeper than an incomplete sentence. More powerful than a null and void. It’s a plot hole.

Simply a-musing
I’m a writer and I don’t get no respect. Not even from my muse.
The other day my muse showed up after leaving me high and dry for months.
He said, “Guess what? To make it up to you I’ll grant you three wishes.”
I said, “Okay, first, I want this novel manuscript to be done. Second, I want it to be a best seller and make lots of money. Third, I want it to be made into a movie and make even more money and fame. Go it?”
My muse nodded.
I waited. Three days. Three weeks. Three months. Three years. It did not happen.
When I finally saw my muse again, I asked why my wishes hadn’t come true.
“But they will,” my muse said, “but first you have to die.”

The mustache disguise.
In order to escape a man named Stan, who said he only wanted to give her a glass unicorn because it reminded him of her, Stella the Unicorn started wearing a mustache disguise.
Stan said the glass unicorn was only a metaphor, nothing more.
Stella said it was a mixed metaphor, as well as a mixing of plays, which was something Stan didn’t understand.
More’s the pity, Stella thought, because Stan was kind of cute in that lumpish way human males were. But that wasn’t the point.
Stan, unlike her fake mustache, could grow him, but Stella knew it wouldn’t lead to anything lasting. It never did with humans.

Second writer nods.
First writer: “It says, ‘will writer for food.'”
Second writer: “So whom are you going to write first?”
Whom will he try to write for food first? Will it work?
