If you contact kids frequently or have children of your own, pay attention to how they see the world. Look for intriguing headlines and articles that speak to you once you start poring over tabloids, police reports, and local news websites. Remember that magical realism allows for subtle and implicit magic rather than overt or overpowering magic. In a magical realism narrative, the primary characters are regular people who encounter extraordinary or supernatural events while living in a typical environment. You must create your scene in a location that readers will recognize since magical realism takes place in the same reality that your readers interact with on a daily basis.
