What is writing but taking from one's own experiences and sculpting their story into a story they can share with others? This is the easiest kind of writing.
I want to base this book a bit on the people I knew when I was a child.
I shall include my father the lawyer, myself as a little tomboy in youth, and my dear old friend, Truman Capote. By the way, I heard Truman has become an author too. We had the most outstanding summers together as children in Alabama. I shall have to include those memories in the story. One instance that stands out is the old man who left things in the tree in his yard that we would collect.
I also kind of like the sound of the name "Atticus"...
