RE: Memoirs Of A Bus Stop - Constrained Writing Entry
Thank you so much, I was struggling to get realistic dialogue going so I ended up drawing heavily on personal experience. I love how candid people are with strangers, I have had a few conversations on trains but the real gems have been at bus stops. I had a really interesting conversation with an angry woman in subway a few weeks ago. She was complaining about nosing people she knew wanting her to tell them things and then launched into telling me sooo much personal stuff. There is something magical in the sanctity of strangers <3
I am so glad I did this, I often have stories with so little dialogue, it was really good experience. Thank you for the contest!
Yeah, very often do we more easily open up to perfect strangers than we do to our closest friends/partner/... . It's sad, really, isn't it? How we try and put up a barrier and not let the people we love inside... :|
Awesome! :D No problem at all! :D
