Do You See What I See?

"Write, write, write!" Chances are, if you get a book on writing you're probably going to read those words. And you know what, practice makes perfect. No, I'm not going to ask you to sit around at you local mall and write down everything you see. If you do that, you'll just get weird stares. Instead, I'm going to ask you to pay attention when you go to wal-mart, or the mall, or wherever! Just don't stare, that's rude. Just make a mental note of people who walk by, or the person who checks out your groceries. Keep a notebook in your car to write it down. After a few different trips to the grocery store, look over the people you wrote down. Choose your favorite and write a short story with him (or her) as the main character.
