A writer friend and I were brainstorming her book at a restaurant one day and as we ate desert and finally got her to the altar, a customer stopped by our table and said, "I just figured it out--you two are writers cause what you've been talking about would never happen in this town."Patricia Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382033674042021556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-54711156679107114282013-04-10T22:12:12.527-04:002013-04-10T22:12:12.527-04:00I love to people watch.

When the opportunity presents itself......<br /><br />But you can't convince me engineers don't eavesdrop, I mean overhear conversations. When corporations house their engineers in little cubicles, back to back, well, you get the idea. ;)Dee Dee https://www.blogger.com/profile/12568993522822927873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-9926267855947807962013-04-10T10:34:10.208-04:002013-04-10T10:34:10.208-04:00I loved this. :) Just Monday, I confess, I sat in ...I loved this. :) Just Monday, I confess, I sat in a McDonalds, working on my Bible study when four teenage girls walked in and sat at a nearby table. I just "happened" to have my iPod handy, so I took it out and tried to record their conversation. Because one of the main characters in my my current WIP is a teenage girl. It was enlightening to listen in on their conversation. :)<br /><br />I like the idea of "professional curiosity." I'm still developing this trait. And I like hearing how you're finding advantages in exploring it. :)Jeanne Takenakahttp://jeannetakenaka.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-90808690463018259382013-04-10T09:32:56.178-04:002013-04-10T09:32:56.178-04:00I always enjoy Kirk's posts!
