Do Scenes Fall Into Your Lap?

[FEELINGLUCKYPUNK]

At McDonalds minutes ago I observed a near riot involving bikers and the manager. It was loud and profane. Very profane. I nearly peed my pants. They wanted service and there was one person to cook, take care of drive-thru, and clean restrooms. The n the girl got the orders wrong. Ditto for me. But I'm docile and meek. It was a good scene.

Curiosity begs the question; in what part of the world is a Maccas so under-staffed?

In respect to your question, I was on a trail ride about a year ago that was led by two sisters. The older one was actually quite pretty, but overweight and eminently sensible. The younger was gorgeous and flighty and keen to becrowned rodeo queen at an upcoming rodeo. Younger sister kept rabbiting on about pageants and being beautiful and how awful it would be to be ugly and blah blah blah and the older sister's eyes were almost rolling out of her head. I nearly fell off my horse laughing but thankfully remembered that I was 36 years old and needed a milk crate to mount a horse these days, and we were a few kilometres from the stables, so I kept my composure and stayed atop the gelding.

I totally sympathised with the older sister because I (sigh) am the plain, dark haired, quiet, flat chested older sister of an outgoing blonde with huge ta-ta's.

Thus was born https://www.literotica.com/s/country-af-fair Huge chunks of the opening scene are based on the horse girls combined with all the times I went to a show (fair) with my sister.

Pretty much all the time. Scenes about town often evolve into something else, though.

Like the girl on the beach inspired a story about mermaids - which is an obvious stretch, I grant you. A male turning into a female mermaid, not so much.

Interesting to see someone talk about a non erotic scene. One of the fight scenes in Drive by Demons was inspired by an actual ugly event I ended up involved in between me and two friends who got into a fight with some protesters outside an planned parenthood years ago.

They weren't the typical sign carrying morons, but the westboro baptist type and put their hands on a woman trying to get in. My friend saw it as we were driving by and we pulled over and...

It was glorious.

Not scenes, really, but often snippets of overheard conversation will make their way into my dialogue.

I heard a co-worker complaining about her boyfriend's obsession with video games and how she responded to it, and it resulted in this exchange in Mary and Alvin Ch. 05:

“Wyatt? Honey? Can you pause that for a minute?”

“Can’t pause an online game, babe,” he said, without looking up. Mary watched him for a few minutes, then crossed the room and unplugged the internet router.

“Hey, what the..”

“Oh,” Mary said, staring down at him with her arms crossed in front of her, “Maybe you can pause an online game after all.”

Now that's something I can use for "Chinese Takeout"

Nope. If I'm not at the computer, I don't think about writing.

My head is filled with scenes. I merely need write them down. Notice the difference between Inspiration and Perspiration. Almost anything I witness or recall can be sexualized for storytelling. The problems are: Where to start? When to stop?

I'm at this very minute listening to Hawai'ian guitar music by Gabby Pa'hinue and Bob Brozman. I just finished playing 'Ukulele Lady and Alaho 'Oe on a tenor 'uke. I can see on-beach orgies whilst lei'd girls and trannys dance, manly studs and bikini babes surf, sand crabs crawl, tentacles emerge from the foam, and coconuts fall with more force and damage (but less splatter) than five-pound avocados. See, it's easy!

That's a great way to use it in a story. Believable. This happens everywhere.
There's also a movie, "The Founder", that tells the real life story about Ray Croc.

He didn't start McDonald's, but he's credited with expanding it into what it is today. Michael Keaton plays Ray Croc. Good movie if you're a McDonald's fan.

BTW, some McDonald's are posting "help wanted" signs on their front doors.

I harvesr good scenes from McDonalds. Our manager is a Latina hottie with 5 o'clock shadow at breakfast. She had time for the make up but forgot to shave her beard.
