I love listening to the News from Lake Wobegon. I'm trying to break it down and analyze it and the more I do the more I find it so difficult to put a finger on it. On the surface it sounds seems so simple but so complex at the same time. I want to write my own version of this. How would I go about it? 1. Create a fictional town - I'm assuming maps, buildings/businesses etc 2. Create rich quirky characters? 3. Let life happen? Would you come up with a daily routine for each character? Isn't NFLW nothing but slice of life/vignettes? Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks
