Vivienne eavesdrops on conversations other people are having. She does so in all kinds of places — stores, restaurants, Vegas casinos, the community pool . . . She does it because she believes that “people-watching is the best show on earth.” And her readers are glad she does because she what she overheard and how she happened to overhear it in an engaging manner, dispensing wry wisdom and subtle social commentary in the process.
Today Vivienne receives the Post of the Day Award for her October 1, 2008, entry, Dying to Vote. This time, she listened in on a conversation between two American teenagers who found “Beverly Hills 90210″ fascinating, but could not be bothered educating themselves about the United States’ current economic crisis or the latest developments in the Presidential race. Vivienne encountered a couple of young girls who, in those and many other respects, were just quintessential American kids.
However, the conversation she listened in on took place in a salon while she was getting a pedicure, the one indulgence she will not give up despite the rough financial times.
I will not tell you more about Eavesdrop Writer Blog or, more particularly, Dying to Vote, because you must read Vivienne’s work yourself in order to appreciate the beauty of her straight-forward approach to storytelling and experience its impact.
Congratulations, Vivienne. Keep eavesdropping because I am a loyal reader and look forward to more “imagination stimulation from overheard conversations for creative writers and curious readers.”
