There are so many wonderful locations in this gorgeous country to choose from. I could also be 'forced' to hop on a plane and do some research in other countries if someone made me do it!<br /><br />I could also be forced to run away with a billionaire, be whisked off by a prince, or be kidnapped by a handsome pirate, all for the sake of research. Nothing like making your writing as realistic as possible! :-)Mon Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015874074175265257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741218479333548642.post-91749579945585606832010-06-02T19:23:07.217+10:002010-06-02T19:23:07.217+10:00lol did I make sense,

It doesn't have to be the writer as the character. <br /><br />If you haven't experienced all types of emotion, how can one can one convey it in their novels. <br /><br />Have you ever dreamt of fear, of loss, or of love... remembering dreams often help also. <br /><br />I agree with Karlene, first hand experience does wonders for conveying that emotion. <br /><br />I hope that clears up the confusion. :)Suzanne Brandyn Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969670520269001723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741218479333548642.post-13842663287669621382010-06-02T18:34:33.177+10:002010-06-02T18:34:33.177+10:00Hi Kez.

I think a writer has to experience these feelings to get them down on paper to reach a reader. <br />It's the feelings most writers install, not necesarily the real person or what they have experienced. <br />To relate to that feeling a character is going through is the key essence in bringing emotion to a scene. <br />At least your photo is better than the one I took. lol...perhaps a better day. <br />Suz :)Suzanne Brandyn Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969670520269001723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741218479333548642.post-31234017426044679772010-06-02T18:28:55.510+10:002010-06-02T18:28:55.510+10:00Right on! thats what I'm talking about karly. ...Right on! thats what I'm talking about karly. i use Tin Can Bay because i loved it and lived there, its a part of me as is the waterfall and beach etcAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231732357746804509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741218479333548642.post-66205521433301492482010-06-02T18:19:11.448+10:002010-06-02T18:19:11.448+10:00Hi Kez,

What a beautiful picture of the waterfall- no wonder you used it in a scene- it's gorgeous!<br />I use lots of places I love in my stories. <br />Fallout was set in Townsville where I lived- a place I still love, and I set a lot of the scenes on the 'strand' and around town.<br /> I'm using Macksville as the town in my latest WIP. <br />I think using places you have a strong attachment to is great for writing. <br />Research is fine and you can make a scene believable just from googling a place- but to use a place that is a part of you, can only bring out an emotion in your voice that only first hand experience can give, and that will come through in your writing without even trying.Karlene Blakemore-Mowlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095381736372634994noreply@blogger.com
