His advice was to use your imagination and write about what you don't know. Write what you care about and write what you want to write.<br />Thanks for sharing these extracts.Keith Havershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05133563220362208820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296713653596646450.post-45130744791928291552011-06-08T09:16:19.409-07:002011-06-08T09:16:19.409-07:00Thank you for popping by and leaving a lovely comm...Thank you for popping by and leaving a lovely comment Rosemary. It's so good to see that you have joined the tweeting authors!! It's a great place to 'meet' new friends and be supportive of one another. xx<br /><br />Hi Maria. I wonder what part of ourselves we've given away in our novels? Perhaps best not to ask!! Happy writing to you too and thank you for reading my post and leaving a comment. xxAngela Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221068291904611525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296713653596646450.post-22826306088998639272011-06-08T08:25:03.742-07:002011-06-08T08:25:03.742-07:00I echo your thoughts on scene setting Ange, my own...I echo your thoughts on scene setting Ange, my own novel, although urban fantasy is set in and around a place I know well. <br /><br />I've not changed the name though, as I'm working on facts from history, which like you, I do my research on before penning any words.<br /><br />Which makes me wonder - is this the way most novelists work? They say the writer gives away a little truth about themselves in every work of fiction.<br /><br />Happy writing.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296713653596646450.post-74569812300954874562011-06-08T06:27:45.818-07:002011-06-08T06:27:45.818-07:00Completely agree with your sentiments about writin...Completely agree with your sentiments about writing, Ange!

A sense of place is important in setting scenes, creating atmosphere and giving life to characters. One of my novels is set on a Greek island, one I've yet to visit, so indeed, thank heavens for the wonderful world of the web!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296713653596646450.post-5271603536668752192011-06-07T15:03:01.637-07:002011-06-07T15:03:01.637-07:00Thank you for your lovely comment Kath.
