How can National Whipping Cream Day spur creativity? I thought about that for a moment and it came to me - anyone who has actually made their own whipping cream knows: you take a liquid and whip it into an airy, fluffy mass of deliciousness. National Whipping Cream Day is about making something out of something else. And that is kind of a big deal. We start a story with a character (the liquid heavy whipping cream) and the character goes through changes in our story, eventually coming out on the other side changed somehow (as actual whipped cream). In every story the main character wants something. There is something or someone blocking what the character wants, or thinks they want. In order to get that thing, then, they must overcome or defeat whatever is in the way. Doing so will change them somehow. It has to change them. That is what the story is about. It is about how our characters change as they go through whatever it is they must go through to get, or not get, what they want. That said, I cannot be responsible for unfinished baking if someone happens to get a some sort of creative inspiration while watching the mixer whip some whipping cream |
