The same for me- thanks for the Linkedin link. I read your previous post about stepping out of your comfort zone. Very good advice. I think I did that when I started writing contemporary romance! I must admit I'm quite comfortable with it now though. And hey- If you'd like to do some cross blogging, let me know. My schedule is pretty open. Cheers. RC Bonitz
Thanks. Keep pushing the envelope and you'll come up with some great story ideas. I like to throw in the unexpected now and then. But, that's life, isn't it. Keep writing, Joyce
Hi, Joyce! I agree with your advice so much. Writers tend to cramp themselves and get bound up too much. You've given good tips. Wonderful to touch base with you. Deborah/TheBookishDame
Your advice is on target. Using your home town for a setting has several advantages. The most obvious is that you know what it looks like. However, other people might be entranced by your town. Great advice!

Thanks, Deb. Now if I only follow my own advice. :)

ReplyDeleteNancy, I loved writing about my home town, even though I fictionalized it. The downside--if I made a mistake, someone always let me know.
