I've also had those wondering thoughts if they are actually reading what I write or are they just watching the videos but I figure they're here and that should matter more. <br /><br />As for the setting of your novel, so far the one's I've written are based in my own creations. Nothing specific that would make or break the novel if I changed them. But I would think that the memories you color the city with will give good insight into the perceptions of your characters. As it the MC notices the beauty in the skyline or your love interest is attracted to the smells and sight of their culinary scene. Its all going to give a personal perspective to your characters.C.M.

I've noticed that most of my international blog hits are from images (it's amazing how many Middle Eastern hits I get for a picture of Hillary Duff!) and hope some are actually reading what I wrote.<br /><br />As for my REAL project...part of my novel takes place in a foreign country. I was only there briefly, and I constantly hope my memory is strong enough to evoke the special qualities, sights, and feelings of being there.Kerry Ann @Vinobaby's Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295304663766870450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685864316478207223.post-55548629998220425722011-05-03T09:05:14.764-07:002011-05-03T09:05:14.764-07:00Yet another thing reminding us of our ever-interco...Yet another thing reminding us of our ever-interconnectedness!
