Bigfoot Stole My Wife by Ron Carlson was not only a fun read but another great inspiration. It's interesting that he takes such bizarre and unreal tabloids and turns them into these characters that seem to live and breath the very thing that is not realistic. His writing actually made me think: why do these people need to believe these odd things? Why do they believe it so much that they risk being called crazy?
There are also a lot of reasons that they could believe in alien abductions and Bigfoot stealing wives, so to see that he picked a occurrence of the characters past was a nice twist. The character believes in everything, but clearly believes in nothing. Learning about where Carlson gets his inspiration pushed me to try to find inspiration in everything. Then all there is left to do is write!
