Hello, It’s Nice to Meet You!
Meeting new characters is similar to meeting new people. Sometimes you make rushed judgement, sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re not. Often times the characters of your imagination can be far more engaging than a chance encounter in the real world. After all you can ask burning questions and explore their psyche without seeming very strange and invasive.
Yesterday I met Walter and Ian, the once dynamic duo who now suffer from the normal pains of old-age and reside in Long Mountain Assisted Living Facility. I love them both! I’ve been entertaining them throughout the day and even though little has gone to paper, I’ve gotten to know them better, and allowed them to tell me their secrets. Sometimes I find that this is of equal or greater importance than making words fly across a page.
So…who have you met lately?
