Okay, so Random.org helped me out, and the winner of the signed copy of Fancy White Trash is Rachel R, and the winner of the signed copy of Skin Hunger is Theresa Milstein! I wish I could have gotten more books and stuff to give away! Winners, please email me at lchardesty at yahoo dot com with your addresses.
Anyway, on to setting!
I’m on a family vacation.
I’m both excited and annoyed. I have three children, so it’s pretty
exhausting. Plus, the first stop
is my parents’ house.
I adore my parents, but my mom likes to go, go, go, and I’m
really more of a homebody. I don’t
really like to go on outings, just to go somewhere. Especially when I could be writing or something. Plus, my kids tend to realize that my
mom will be quicker to get them snacks or something they want, so they bug
her. If I do nothing but pay
attention to them, I can nip that in the bud before she gives in, but if I’m,
say, WRITING or READING and not paying attention, she will give in and then eventually get
annoyed that I’m not doing anything.
*shakes head* Needless to
say, I don’t think I’m going to get much writing time on this trip. *SIGH*
BUT, I am excited because I am visiting the places two of my
novels are set in! YAY! My current WIP, That Succs, is set in
and around Vegas, which is where my parents live (for two more weeks, and then
they’re moving—lol). Then we are
all going to South Dakota to visit my grandmothers. My completed novel, Lure, is set in Western South Dakota,
basically where my mom’s mom lives (the middle of nowhere-ish).
I plan to do posts when I get back, highlighting both
places, but I wanted some advice first.
What kinds of things do you think I should look for/at? If you have a novel or novel idea set
in either of these places, what information would you want about them?
