For as long as I can remember, I have loved observing people.
When I was a child, I could spend an entire family party listening to the adults talk rather than playing with my siblings and cousins.
I am never bored in public places because I love to watch people and observe their interactions and listen to their conversations.
I get so many ideas for my stories from watching people and listening to people.
A snippet of conversation may get me started on a "what if" that goes for minutes to hours.
Airports are especially fertile ground for people observation, as are train and bus stations.
There is so much human drama, and tragedy and comedy being played out all around us every day. I love the richness that it adds to my life to observe all that life happening.
Are you a people watcher? Do you find yourself writing stories in your head about the people you see in public places?
I am definitely a people watcher . . . though I don't write stories in my head about them -- got enough in my head with my own life :)
