My writing is a cupcake. The ingredients are my outline, it must be precise, perfectly placed and organized or everything will fall apart. Once in the oven the ingredients begin to come together, slowly rising, and finally forming a perfect little cake. Once I begin my writing all my ideas come together, rising as I get deeper and deeper into my piece, eventually forming a story. The final touch to any cupcake is perfectly piped frosting. This makes the cupcake appealing, different, and immaculate. Details in my writing act as the piped frosting. They add pizazz, imagery, and appeal for the reader. My writing is a cupcake. It's an organized process where if one thing is imperfect, everything will fall apart
