Yak, yak, gab, gab, yada, yada, yada! What does all this mean?? Dunno.
Of course I know. You really don't think I would sit here typing with nothin' to say, do ya?
I know people who can talk the hind legs off a donkey. I like to listen to those folks. While I'm at the coffee shop, in line at the grocery story, shopping at the mall. When I listen, I learn stuff. Stuff like cadence, when they take their natural pauses, and their distinct expressions. It helps me in my writing. Try it.
See? I told you I had something to say. Have a beautiful weekend. See you Monday which will be brought to you by the H. (I've always wanted to say that!)

Now if you were from Australia you could spend your weekend on the Gabba!
ReplyDeleteLove listening in! What a great exercise to listen not only to the words but the rhythms as well... And a nice tribute to Sesame Street at the end of your post there.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Gotta listen to those gabbers for some good material. Have a great rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn .. some of those people don't stop to take breath!! Could be a long wait .... I switch off and can't get excited at the drivel ..
ReplyDeleteHave a good Easter and hope you're feeling slightly better and recovering fast .. cheers Hilary
Hi, Robyn! I'll be seeing a lot of my family today and tomorrow for Easter and we'll be gabbing away!! But sometimes it pays to just listen to others gabbing. I've gotten some good ideas for characters, plot, and dialogue from eavesdropping, heehee!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and happy A to Z!
I like listening to people talk, I also study their body language and when their expressions change if the conversation is not going their way.
ReplyDeleteFun G post. It can be fun to listen in on conversations, sometimes. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteRobyn, you just make me so Happy, girl!!!
ReplyDeleteI tend to attract the gabbers.
ReplyDeleteYou'll find Grammar being expounded upon on several blogs today. I like the Gab. I'll meet you out back, we can sit under the oak, drink tea, and gab about nothing.
ReplyDeleteI listen to people all the time. It's research, not eavesdropping :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have the gift.....:D
ReplyDeleteSo true! If only I had more time for eavesdropping in coffee shops :)
ReplyDeleteWell, you know I wrote a whole play from hours of eavesdropping. So, yak away, you loud cell phone talkers. I'm listening.

Great G Post. Sometimes you hear more than you want when you listen to other's conversations, but they are great fodder for writing.
