[...] Fiction Writing: Research is Just a Road TripIf you write fiction to avoid research, then you might never be able to write a good novel. Okay, that sounds kinda lame. But read this post and you’ll be surprised how a little research can open up new realms of possibilities in your fiction! [...]

Jaden, with a story like that I can totally understand your desire for privacy. That’s just plain wrong for someone to do that to you.

You may borrow my shotgun…

Someone just stole a large antique milk jug off the front porch yesterday! This is how Californians show their appreciation. I can tolerate theft when it is for survival or food, but for greedy little antique collectors roaming the countryside, this is obviously not the case. One time in Hollywood, near the Hollywood sign where I lived, I put out a bowl of candy on Halloween. I didn't even make it up the hallway when I heard a little shuffle at the door. By the time I had walked 4 steps back to the door, 3 grown men were running up the road with all my candy and the bowl! That's California for ya! I wasn't born a curmudgeon, I'm a product of my environment. *wink* Jaden @ Screenwriting for Hollywood's last blog post..Sunday Picture Post 6 / Read Out Loud

@ Harry: yeah, heh heh, I’d use those as a “finishing move”

@ Jaden: you old curmudgeon, you…

Outside walking down the street is very different than when a person is doing their private business inside. I talk to people all the time, at the grocery store, on the street, riding my bike, especially when traveling; it's loads of fun. I'm very outgoing and friendly, though I sound like an ol' curmudgeon here. But when I am working, eating, sleeping, or doing things like that,I really hate being disturbed. Is it really that odd? Trespassing on the land is of course illegal too. Guns are legal and used plenty here as is well known. Jaden @ Screenwriting for Hollywood's last blog post..Sunday Picture Post 5 / Research

While I don't have any firearms (see James' post above), I do keep a "loaded" 9 iron in my front closet for "emergencies"... Brett Legree's last blog post..the view from the other side.

It’s true, down here we are suspicious of people traipsing across our property. If you all decide to visit me after sundown, you’d better call ahead.
