I like how you relate to your characters even on rereads. <br />And I'd forgotten about the opening scene in Romancing the Stone - loved that movie.darkwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896375750274931895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-11146095651975587212017-03-24T05:59:49.044-07:002017-03-24T05:59:49.044-07:00Very much agree, Connie. :)Very much agree, Connie. :)Rachael Kosinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911284671983625751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-58052659754363050732017-03-20T15:30:34.613-07:002017-03-20T15:30:34.613-07:00Great post, Connie!

I do that a lot, too, adding locales I have visited and even some places that I just need for the story. By the time I write it, I feel ike I have visited there. I also found it interesting that you have templates, so to speak, to guide you emotionally. As a romance writer, emotion is paramount to your writing, but those of us producing crime fiction also need to deal with heavy emotions.

Yet I know I have very strong emotions when I'm walking the shores of Lake Michigan, or the streets of Chicago. I envy you the ability to feel the scenes why you write them.Rhobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627825512017360508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-5287578304070752902017-03-19T18:25:47.940-07:002017-03-19T18:25:47.940-07:00Connie, that's a good trick to tie the emotion...Connie, that's a good trick to tie the emotion in the story to your personal reactions to a real place. I've never tried that, but will give it a go.<br />:)<br />BobDr Bob Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905005432340711608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-65469580668855913022017-03-18T16:02:05.883-07:002017-03-18T16:02:05.883-07:00I'm with you on using settings I know in my st...I'm with you on using settings I know in my stories. For places I have never been I use Google Earth and Google Maps which helps a lot, especially Google Earth.
