overheard

filed under prose matters | weblogs

Sal Towse (who won the pile o' books) has a weblog, and on her weblog I found a link to In Passing, which is a collection of things overheard in public. I've mentioned before how useful it is to keep track of conversations you hear for story ideas. in Passing has archives going back about five years, and many of them are simply priceless.

Spend some time browsing over there the next time you need a story idea.

"Any good news in there?"
"It's just the obituaries."
"Anyone we hate die?"
