I know that in any given family there is a story, a story of a crazy neighbor that might be a witch because she turned her wayward husband into a goat, or a legend about a lost family treasure. These stories that are told on camping trips can be a goldmine for a writer. They can be easily expanded, detailed and even researched to make it fuller and more compelling.
These types of stories are always the best because most of the time they do have a sliver of truth in them. What makes me thrilled is how a simple story of grand dad loosing a watch can turn into a full blown treasure hunting themed story. Simply amazing how stories can evolve and become something amazing and intriguing.
Nothings better than sasquatch!
