the book
written today (28/08/08) while I was sitting in hospital waiting room. i was observing a woman across from my seat. her whole body trying to hide in the book she was reading.
sometimes I think we use objects to escape the fear of what life might bring.
the book belongs to the following groups:
Writing Workshopface planted in the escape
eyes that don’t see, don’t believe
turn the page one more time over
white light will cover my disguise

I totally relate to what you are saying! Think I have been guilty of it myself – sometimes we use things to hide from others and sometimes from ourselves

Your observances are a wonderful start in working on discovering and developing a character or characters. Plus to make this find in such an unlikely place shows us all that keeping our eyes and minds open to the possibilities all around us will help us become better observers and writers.

Short and to the point.
