Do you ever just sit and watch people and create a story in your head about them?

Yes, especially  when I'm in the mall.

I do it constantly. Even with my own life.

I do that a lot. Most of the stories would be R rated.

Often.  I enjoy sitting in the sun somewhere and watching the people scurry by.  I conjure up stories abou where they are going and why.  Are they mad, secret agents, going to a job interview, good people, bad people?

Oh I LOVE doing that!!!! Especially when I am patiently waiting bored in line. I come up with the story of what is going on with what they buy. LOL! One time someone had a bottle of champagne, a bag of chocolate, condoms and a pregnancy test! LOLOLOL! I assumed there was gonna be a little celebration AFTER the pregnancy test came back negative! LOL!

I'm tempted to ask if you've been reading The Girl on the Train?

No, I don't usually do that but when I was writing my novel I saw a girl in the street who screamed to be included. She was tall, thin, tattooed, pierced, wore 4 inch FMPs, crotch-hugging shorts, a tiny top, and a sullen expression. She was so completely awful that I threw her into a scene as part of the action.

Only when I've been smoking weed and want a good laugh ! Now that it's legal ? I can sit out front and watch people and come up with some good stories ! LOL

Yes I have. Sometimes, I can base the storyline on what they are wearing, which can be hysterical.

Just go to walmart u can come up with a story line

My late husband and I used to have fun doing that when waiting at an airport or sitting in a street cafe.  I wonder if we ever came close to the real story. :)

Yes, I've did that many times.

Yes.  All the time.
