In Monday's blog, Inventing from Place/Alto Angel, I took a location I found particularly enjoyable and incorportated it into a short story with an invented character.
In it, my character sees marbles floating in his line of vision when he glances up at a stained glass window in St Mary's by the Sea Episcopal Church.
My Thursday Two Questions to you are:
- How often do you use specific details from real places in your writing, be it an e-mail, a letter, a memoir, a blog, or a work of fiction?
- What details do you try to include (sights, smells, sounds, tastes, touch)?
