When I write about my characters, I do far too much research about the area that they’ll be in. And, typically, it’s usually some place I’ve actually been, though I’m always too jazzed about being there while I’m there to take proper notes. That’s where the internet comes in handy!

NaNoWriMo – Day Twenty-Four and Twenty-Five
