    I just wrote about Talking to Strangers. I’m amazed at how many people don’t want to engage with people they don’t know. Why not? Everyone is a story!

    My favorite way to stay creative involves me naming random things I own. I recently named the cold air fan that I sleep with. I also named a paper cocktail umbrella.

      This is a really good technique to train your imagination. Did you know that Actors will often have full blown conversations with inanimate objects?
