Oliver Jeffer's Stuck for example. The old woman who lived in a shoe. Shel Silverstein's Sarah Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out. And lots of my own :)jamtothejimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535803372366157965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-39143757853518831762015-02-15T12:28:49.699+00:002015-02-15T12:28:49.699+00:00book of nursery rhymes

Great post, Natascha. <br /><br />Ha ha, once you see 'threes' everywhere, there's no escaping them. I must admit that sometimes I get tired of watching movies where the character tries something once, then a second time, and then always succeeds at the third try! But they do it because it works well.Paeony Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129555451791248798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-49356008885353163982014-02-20T13:23:56.808+00:002014-02-20T13:23:56.808+00:00Good, very good, excellent!Good, very good, excellent!malachy doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428551785118345251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-76327789325947041192014-02-20T09:04:48.274+00:002014-02-20T09:04:48.274+00:00That's it!

I get sent/handed a lot of picture book texts by non-professionals, and very often it's the pace - the drama build-up that is missing. The rule of 3 is a great tool.

I don't set out to use it, but when I look back at my work, I find it has sneaked in to my examples, my humour, or even into the arch of the plot. It must be a subconscious thing!Abie Longstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682225221860351795noreply@blogger.com
