They really are amazing to watch, although I did get nervous every time Lauren did the 'drop', where the artist wraps herself in the silk and tumbles, stopping just inches from the floor.

Like Pam, I like to learn as I write either by asking questions of experts or researching in books and on line.<br /><br />Hi Beth, Your grandfather will be a very good source, not only for his knowledge but for his voice. He will have a unique way with expressions from his time. You should be making notes of his quirky sayings now. I wish I had when my g'father was alive.<br />Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435753141533984134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067896649152086022.post-53314346100327544082013-06-07T11:40:20.951+10:002013-06-07T11:40:20.951+10:00I agree about the "who you know."

And I have a psychiatrist friend who will hopefully answer a few questions for my current WIP.<br /><br />Best of luck with your books!<br />BethBeth Overmyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820441246149409581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067896649152086022.post-60627151136263801062013-06-05T17:13:59.628+10:002013-06-05T17:13:59.628+10:00Way to go, Pamela.

I went to the store and noticed it wasn't in the window or inside anymore, but Dad hadn't been notified of a sale. Very cleverly I questioned the store owner without her knowing of my connection to the artist. She gave me a glowing review of Dad's talent which I've since worked into a story. Also I ordered another plaque, so that she'd have to contact Dad and pay him for the first one. He said something about having his arm in a sling so wouldn't be able to do anymore for her. Devious people, all three of us. haha. Good Title for a book.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435753141533984134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067896649152086022.post-5939059094559418602013-06-05T11:59:33.017+10:002013-06-05T11:59:33.017+10:00Hi Rosalie, I agree, adding relevant circus elemen...Hi Rosalie, I agree, adding relevant circus elements could enrich stories in many genres.<br /><br />Hi Pat, It's amazing how even the most vivid of imaginations can send an author on the research trail.<br /><br />Hi Cheryl, 'as source to interrogate' --LoL.
