The Plot Thickens Then Thins

Me writing the beginning of my book: ooooh the plot thickens!! Me writing the middle of my book: hmm the plot thinnens *adds a sprinkle of cornstarch to the plot and stirs* #NOOOOO URE SUPPOSED TO MIX THE CORNSTARCH INTO A SLURRY BEFORE ADDING IT TO YOUR SOUP ITLL CLUMP IN HOT WATER NOOO THE PLOT CLUMPENS

A Twitter-style screenshot jokes about a writer whose book starts with an exciting, complex plot but becomes thin and poorly developed in the middle. Other users extend the cooking metaphor by treating the plot like cornstarch in soup, correcting the technique and lamenting that the plot has clumped. It is sent as a reaction to stories that begin strongly but fall apart or become boring.
