I've read it said that you should write what you know and if setting a work in your hometown or a local area you know well helps a writer spend more time on other elements of the novel I say wonderful. I also think that having that breadth of knowledge makes the story much more intimate because the author has experienced those locations and speaks from experience.<br /><br />Thanks for a great stop on the Road Trip. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965647842119649711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-81054178734627341392009-12-11T02:30:07.231-05:002009-12-11T02:30:07.231-05:00Thanks for all the great comments to my post!
