You can find inspiration in ANYTHING. A word, an image, an overheard conservation. (I'm signed up for the Merriam Webster Word-of-the-Day...I don't read each post but some words catch my eye and stick with me. )
JAY-DRIVER…what is that??? It is the origin story of Jay-Walker. Jay-Driver was first used In Kansas and referred to a driver of a horse-drawn carriage (or car) who drove on the wrong side of the road. An article in The Junction City Union called them “miscreants!”
What does this conjure in your mind? What images? What dialogue?
