Love it, great material here. I love the Gift Wrapper one the best. A woman is a gift. What a smart man you overheard. Enjoyed reading it all very much.
Blog Detail
Eavesdrop Writer
http://eavesdropwriter.blogspot.com
This is an idea toolbox for creative writers. I use eavesdropping as a resource for character development and this blog is a repository for little gems of conversation I've heard. Don't worry, I'm not using electronic devices or crawling under window sills yet. Just fine-tuning my observation skills in public places to learn about human nature every day. Stop by, maybe you'll find inspiration in something I've overheard!

I absolutely love this idea. I'm forever eaves dropping for character ideas and general insights into human nature. My failing is that I've too short a memory to remember conversations for long. I'm impressed that you've managed not only to remember, but to make a whole blog from it. Tiny scenelets, flashes of character shown in minute details. Great stuff.

Interesting blog, amusing to read. Very well pulled together. Like conversations overheard, very, very interesting blog.

I've always been a fan of eavesdropping for character development. Looking forward to reading through your blog. A few days ago, I posted on my blog a conversation I stoled from a restaurant. :-)

The sparrow blinks in awe at so many lovely comments. Ruffles his feathers... and then thinks that the author wouldn't mind another rating of 10 :)

Fntastic blog- I also use eavesdropping as a constant source of writing material. from developing dialog to creating more realistic charcters, eavesdropping is the way to go.
John Cavers
The blog is presented well for the reader with lots of interesting things. I think the overall design is very appealing. Good articles.

I like the look, feel, and whole idea of your blog. I can easily see a book like PostSecrets coming out of these random encounters with strangers. Great stuff.

Wonderful idea to start a weekly meme for others to end to their own likinig.
I love your blog.
dmeemai
great stumbling on your blog! it's impressive how an everyday thing like 'eavesdropping' and perhaps people watching can turn into a developmental idea such that it can be used for creative writing- and why not? fiction is only as good when based on some truth and reality. gives readers something to relate with.... truly inspiring especially for a frustrated writer like me! well done!
Mr. Grudge
Excellent blog...full of heartfelt and well written stories. This blog is a regular stop for me.

B N Sullivan
This is one of my all-time favorite blogs. Adds a whole new meaning to "telling it like it is." It is unique, but I expect that Vienne's Eavesdrop Writer will engender many copy-cats over time.
