If I want to develop it, I seek to understand a few key elements, in order to lend some authenticity, and then I make some shit up, to fill the gaps. Like "David," for example!<BR/><BR/>MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-6946996581177250442008-10-13T07:28:00.000-05:002008-10-13T07:28:00.000-05:00Matt,You know, well manicured lawns are highly ove...Matt,<BR/>You know, well manicured lawns are highly overrated...Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733411405712601399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-76601282892172048272008-10-11T17:34:00.000-05:002008-10-11T17:34:00.000-05:00OK, next time I see her, I'll be sure to let her k...OK, next time I see her, I'll be sure to let her know that you're missing her!

He's not impressive to look at: a bit short, at 5'8", disshevelled hair of indeterminate colour, regular features, but nothing special; that kind of thing. But he has a gaze that convinces you that he's reading your mind.<BR/><BR/>MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-46346824973510344882008-10-04T08:15:00.000-05:002008-10-04T08:15:00.000-05:00It sounds like you are describing your muse.
