And I love that you have your whole family doing this. Not ONE of mine would at this point (though I could see my daughter writing as an adult).<br /><br />I've seen stuff that works its way in, but haven't ever gone so far as to be deliberate about it.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-76777746570332943882010-10-20T11:48:11.161+10:002010-10-20T11:48:11.161+10:00Brilliant idea; Some of those headlines are so uni...Brilliant idea; Some of those headlines are so unique~Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070952447277684613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-30853915393837087242010-10-20T08:00:21.242+10:002010-10-20T08:00:21.242+10:00It's a great idea to get story ideas from head...It's a great idea to get story ideas from headlines!

I read an article out of the Dallas Morning News that read like a novel, made the soldiers look steely-eyed and tough -- one soldier, a 6'8" bear sergeant, who got shot in the head and chest 5 times, stared at Hasan the whole time.<br /><br />It made the clerk girl who recorded the shooting on her phone sound fragile, a gentle civilian.<br /><br />This, of course, was the reality, but it is an incredible read.<br /><br />Wish I could find that article again... it's in the DMN from last week somewhere.<br /><br /> - EricEric W.
