I find if you live in a place for a long time, you start to take those little things for granted--those things that make the place unique.

There are stories I have on reserve to write one day, after having visited or lived in certain places because I want that feel. Regardless, having a local who will consult and straighten you out on details can definitely help when you can't visit a location.<br /><br />Denise, the premise and setting sound lovely!Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030453069845909403.post-86248545180977743102016-02-09T14:34:38.097+11:002016-02-09T14:34:38.097+11:00Congrats on the IWSG group for the newsletter!Congrats on the IWSG group for the newsletter!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323538213636795216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030453069845909403.post-53399092693366631472016-02-09T09:21:23.363+11:002016-02-09T09:21:23.363+11:00Thank you so much Victoria.

I write a lot of science fiction, so I am a world-builder, but whenever I am writing other fiction, I tend to write about places I have explored mostly in Virginia, Oklahoma and NYC. I need research to write about other locales. But that is also half the fun in writing! Cheers all!Ravynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842889270339265787noreply@blogger.com
