Eavesdrop and Create-a-Character

When standing in line or dining in a restaurant, do you ever wonder about the individuals around you?  Do you select professions and hobbies for them.  Wonder where they live?  Do they own pets?  Which cars do they drive? Have they committed crimes?  Do they hide secrets?  What makes them tick?

Today, notice and take notes about clothing, body language, and facial expressions of individuals who inhabit your day.  Make up professions and lifestyles for them.  Add humor and play with character possibilities

Does a poem or story evolve from your notions?
