As an exercise, this is fine. But more than that, the question is: what can I get from eavesdropping that is really of use to me?
ReplyDeleteSo is there a common thread in what you have listened to?
What is it?
How would you use it in a narrative of your own?
Is it worth using?
What sort of character(s) would make use of such conversation?
