I just finished one inspired by the time I spent in Puerto Rico right after college.<br /><br />Mary/LizLiz Millironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919409969263609919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-40574986698013462912017-07-21T10:15:51.765-04:002017-07-21T10:15:51.765-04:00Welcome, Thomas.

Research is important, but finding a piece of information I didn't expect is like waving a bright shiny object in front of a child. I'm off and running until something pulls me back to the task at hand.<br /><br />I think most of us grew up reading some of the same authors to get here, but your reading list is impressively wide.<br /><br />Looking forward to your next post.Steve Liskowhttp://www.steveliskow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-52582920348543441372017-07-21T10:10:18.561-04:002017-07-21T10:10:18.561-04:00I enjoyed your post, Thomas, and I'm glad you&...I enjoyed your post, Thomas, and I'm glad you've decided to become a regular SleuthSayer. Welcome! I do tend to set stories and novels in places where I've lived (I've moved around a lot, so I still have a range of settings to choose from) or at least visited. Setting seldom plays a major role for me, but it still feels more comfortable to write stories that take place in places I know fairly well. If setting plays no role, I often leave it unspecified. If they like, readers can imagine the events in the story happened next door.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673578800047888317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-17497420813190211192017-07-21T10:09:27.824-04:002017-07-21T10:09:27.824-04:00Welcome to the asylum, Thomas.

THat tends to be what happens to me. I go to Israel and get an idea for a story set in Pennsylvania.

I do indeed find my own writing inspired often by travel--not just directly by setting or incident sparking ideas but also just by the change of pace loosening the mind somehow. Looking forward to your story in the new anthology--and to your posts here down the road, of course!Art Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409008167752619352noreply@blogger.com
