I got to thinking – can you even imagine being a plastic surgeon? ))))

Yup. I think you are on target. We become hermits because of the overload. EVERYTHING becomes a potential element in a story. I really liked this post, Nets.

Okay. Still running like a crazy lady – will get the links up later tonight. You and lala are way too cool. xoxo

this is all very good advice. and fun, too. i’m always people watching, even when i don’t realise it. enjoy every moment cos you just never know what it might teach/show us.

i love to people watch, lala. i’m quite the closet stalker — heh!

you’re right, reenie, it is an occupational hazard and it is unrelenting. i think that’s why so many writers are hermits, you know? it can be wearing at times. thanks so much for stopping by!

hi laketrees! thanks so much for your kind words…i think it applies to all the arts. it’s the mindset, you know? appreciate you stopping by.

Recently I was with a friend who is a gifted interior designer. We shared how we both look at the world differently than other people. No matter where I am - no matter where - my eyes always see a story. I could post a dozen essays every day if I was disciplined. It's an occupational hazard of sorts when I get lost in my observations. I might find myself not as attentive to a conversation as I should be. Or I will burst out laughing at the oddest moments. My friend the designer looks at the world differently because of all the colors and shapes she encounters all day long. I also have a close friend who is a psychiatrist. A long time ago I observed that we never have idle conversation – girl talk. I can see her transforming into the brilliant psychiatrist she is as I chatter away. It’s an occupational hazard for her, too. I once told her that I feel guilty, but she considers her observational talents a gift she can share with friends. Ya know, come to think of it, I bet this happens with all sorts of occupations and careers, but I think with writers, it’s unrelenting – that ceaseless power of observation, and thank goodness! Thanks for the brain stretch! Reenies last blog post..Music to my Ears
