Movies, but this is a writers blog - Part II

As an avid self-proclaimed movie buff, a lot of my inspiration comes from movies. Hearing dialogue in a great seen motivates me to write.

Three movies inspired Left Standing.

* The first movie was "As Good As it Gets", I was intrigued with the dialogue.
* The second movie was "City of Angels", I was intrigued by how the angels could read people's minds.
* The last movie I watched was "Good Will Hunting". I love the insight.

In "Good Will Hunting" - during the park bench scene, Robin Williams' character Sean has a monologue. Matt Damon's character, Will, remains silent. It is after the monologue that Sean gets up and leaves Will in contemplation. Had Will been standing, he would have been left standing.
So, what if at the end of every chapter, a character is left standing?
The idea for Left Standing was born.
