Every town, whether a big, towering city or a backwoods collection of huts, has that character. You know the one! The fella everyone knows, everyone has a story to tell about.
Town drunk, neighborhood auntie, local war hero, everyone's best friend sheriff, the cat lady... These are characters! The little dabbles of color that gives every town, big or small, famous or off the map, those little details that make it what it is.
Well, I am collecting characters.
As a writer, I am always looking for that little dabble of color that will make my readers sit up and say “I’ve been there!”
As a historian, I am always looking for that little detail that adds to the story of time gone by.
So, I ask you, tell me about the character in your own town and I’ll tell you about mine.
