Life With A Tailor
A 50-word relationship.20 total reviews
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written romantic commentary about being living a life with a tailor. Always sewing something together and his promises to deliver keeps him busy for hours.

Thanks for your review.
Comment from Michele Harber
If you've seen the film "Jerry Maguire," you're familiar with the phrase "You had me at 'hello.' " Well you had me at "Needles."
Because there's so much vocabulary associated with clothing, you didn't have to stretch as far for your puns, but every one you chose was perfect and to the point. This was another very fun read.

This was fun to read. Do you come up with all the words before you start writing these or do you think of them as you go? Just curious. Great job and thanks for the smile :)

Thanks for reviewing.
Initially, I think of which occupations I could use phrases or sayings or idioms about - some would be very difficult to write about as there isn't much variety in the job. Then I write down a list of words that relate to the job; then I start writing and sometimes new phrases come to mind, or I might suddenly think of a word that can be twisted. Often it is quite a juggling job to make the story fit my self-imposed 50-word limit, while also making sense.

My hats off to you. What a process
-
I think it is worth it - readers are appreciating my humour and I am getting great feedback on which stories work better than others.
Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Lisa, I enjoyed your "life with a tailor". You have proved that there's no ending without a beginning. Through all of these professions, your pattern works.
My favorite parts,
"Needles to say", instead of "Needless to say"
and,
"sew hemmed in", instead of "so hemmed in"
Terrific idea in this.
Cheers

Comment from Tina Crute
I think this is my favorite, as I used to sew a lot. I bet others with their occupations on here will relate well too! I think this one has an edge on the others because of its seamless easy delivery. Seriously, it flowed so fast and made perfect sense, well...nonsense! Loved it!

Very good - this tells a story beginning to end, I think. I liked the words you scrambled. Have you done ditch digger, truck driver, CEO of Boeing, school bus driver (they do get paid but not enough to my notion)

Comment from Gloria ....
Oh my land, another terrific relationship that has cut on the bias to sew up a story. Right from start to finish.
This entire series is just sew good. :)

I'm glad you are enjoying my little stories. I think I might have to keep going past 50.
-
Well I think you should write them all year. :))
-
But I have other ideas I want to try out on readers.
-
Is it too much to ask for both? ;-)

Now don't get greedy!
Comment from Cindy Warren
Poor Serge. He should have used his shears instead. Clipping those threads would have been the smart thing to do. Not everything that's been sewn up has to stay that way. But perhaps he's happy with his material girl. Could be she makes a lot of money.

This particular 50- word relationship is simply superb - raises a chuckle too and not a word out of place and a great visual to compliment - well done

Comment from Louise Michelle
Okay, you've redeemed yourself with this fun-to-read story. Some really cute puns here, but I love the phrase 'material girl.' Now I've got that tune on the brain. Great image to go with this - it's perfect. I was going to write 'purr-fect' cause I'm still thinking about the cat poem. Boo-Hoo!

Thanks for reviewing, Louise. I think i might have to prolong this series - I'm having such fun writing the stories and I'm sure it's good for my mental agility.
