This tree is a favorite for lots of people, despite how nontraditional the colors are.

Writing: I've heard agents and editors say that what they want is the "same old" done with a twist. I like to think readers are smarter. If my trees are any indication, people are open to variety and drawn to novelty. I decorated my trees to appease my artistic urge, it's the same reason I create with words.
