Writers are great listeners.

Tell us everything. Spill your guts. Everything!

For example, one of my neighbors is a drug dealer. Right next door. He gets arrested a lot and loves to shoot guns…next door. It used to freak me out, but now it’s normal. “Pop-pop-pop…There he goes again!” So I wrote about it.

A drug dealer lives next door to me.

Another neighbor, on the other side right next door does horse tranquilizers, so I wrote about it. Shhh!

Horse tranquilizers! The new hot drug.

I’m guessing they are not reading stuff on Medium.

My neighborhood is a wealth of stories just waiting to be written.

We are writers, after all, right? I saw this coffee mug in a thrift store for a buck, so I bought it. I love thrift stores.
