Timothy Sojka asked Katherine Center:

I love to eavesdrop, pick up speech patterns, or funny saying, and find a way to work them into a chapter. What's your favorite story about hearing someone say or do something stupid (or insane) and knowing you would work it into a book?

Katherine Center Ha! Well, it's usually dumb things that I've done—humiliations, or mistakes, or things I've struggled with—that I work into books. I don't do all that much eavesdropping, though it is fun when you overhear something you didn't expect!!
