(I completely empathize.)<br /><br />If I were you I'd be taking my camera and about fifty flash cards. I'd snaps shots of EVERYTHING so I could pull my prose precisely from the images. (People and places.)<br /><br />I was stuck in Vegas once for a couple weeks. (Poor car couldn't take the heat.) It's really interesting how small the strip is, and how run down the rest of Vegas is. Actually there's a HUGE population of Mormons or Latter Day Saints just off the strip. Watch for that. You'll see tonz of churches.Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319291603444594747.post-38545176712149363552011-07-15T13:54:55.198-04:002011-07-15T13:54:55.198-04:00I would imagine yourself as your character, and th...I would imagine yourself as your character, and think about how the places would feel to her.

I remember Deadwood being unique, too, 20 years ago before it became more commercialized. Similar to the last comment, it's fun to write about the popular places, but the little-known spots can really draw out many aspects of your characters and story. Good luck!D.E.

That's the original part of town and where all the action used to be. The last time I saw it was pretty rundown, ergo, a perfect place for a novelist to get ideas.<br /><br />Tell me what you see there.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.com
