DAY FOUR: The Science Fair
I didn't have to look far for inspiration when I wrote the scene in THE HOLLOW that dealt with Abbey and Ben trying to figure out what science fair project to do for school. This one I took straight from real life! In seventh grade I did my science fair project based on whether or not the loss of one sense (vision) would heighten another sense (smell). Although my findings were based on short experimentation, and the answer was no, I won first place and even went on to the regional science fair. (Second place there - if I'm remembering correctly.) That's right, a bit of Ben's character was based on my inner science geek!
