We used to do that in the car, watching the activity in the car in front of us and speculating on whether the person in the back seat had been kidnapped, was running away to get married, or on his or her way to the reading of a will that would change their life forever.

Sometimes at a night, I'll drive by a house with lights on and wonder what family scene is going on inside. Or in the summer, my husband and I sit in our screened front porch and wonder aloud about the neighbors that walk by and what their stories are.

Of course, I was careful not to have them fooling around on their spouses or committing murder. To this day, someone's always asking me "When are you going to put me in one of your books?"

Like you, I'm a people watcher and I'm always saying to myself- hmmmm how will I use that person, or their story, or their quirk, or their mannerism or that turn of phrase... As is said, "sometimes you can't make this stuff up". And why should we stress over recreating what already surrounds us?

If people find out it opens up all kinds of worm cans. Actually some of them want you to write their life stories, absolutely positive theirs is unique and brilliant.
