Writers Conference
This weekend I went to the National Writers Conference. All I had to do was hop on the #8 bus and I was at Seattle Center. I had coffee and tuned into journalists and authors either from right here in Seattle or clear across the country.
Faces in the crowd ran the gamut from bright-eyed students to folks with silver hair, all of us looking for a boost of inspiration.
The message was generally this. Tell stories through action. Prepare for interviews by learning the other guy's language. Keep your eyes and ears open to pick up on cues, because what people do doesn't often jibe with what they say. And get close, 'cause the closer you get, the better the stuff they'll tell you. Okay, not that close. Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph, do I have to qualify here?
So it's Sunday evening and I'm going through my travel notebooks. Akira took this pic of one of them. Guess which city. Possible story coming up when I find the characters and the action.
