I agree, being in the place you plan to write about gives you so much sensory and emotional information that you can then use in your stories. Loved the list of what a writer should take. I plan to use it on my next vacation!Mo Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644902211036445323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-60863396708335403232009-07-09T22:23:04.273-05:002009-07-09T22:23:04.273-05:00Colorado is beautiful.

I've been to Bandolier National Mounument before, where they also have cliff dwellings, but it's not on the scope of Mesa Verde.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-43289919479599488882009-07-09T13:29:39.648-05:002009-07-09T13:29:39.648-05:00Over Spring Break I went to Galveston, Bolivar Poi...Over Spring Break I went to Galveston, Bolivar Point and San Felipe because I was writing an historical set in the early days of Texas. My poor step-dad drove us all those places in a day.<br /><br />I went with Trish on her King Ranch excursion. I'd never been, and it was really cool.<br /><br />Next week I'm going to Austin to research some sites for my WIP.

There's a lot of ancient history there.Tori Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514585159442285006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-22693124442804320852009-07-09T13:03:13.716-05:002009-07-09T13:03:13.716-05:00The King ranch is pretty awesome.

Even when I'm not visiting places for research, sometimes they inspire their own ideas.Tori Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514585159442285006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-28936003826258398972009-07-09T11:53:23.942-05:002009-07-09T11:53:23.942-05:00I love research trips!

The story I'm writing is actually set in Wyoming, but I needed to get the feel of a big, really big ranch, and I was already coming to Texas for another reason. Plus, there was a PRCA rodeo in Corpus that weekend, and my book is set around rodeo. So fun and research in one shot.<br /><br />I also visit places about which I don't already have a story idea, but I come away with one or more.<br /><br />Would love to visit Mesa Verde someday. I love that area of the country.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.com
