I don't do much research before writing--more like researching on the fly. LOL We each have our own way of writing.

I've learned with experience to immerse myself in the planning and let the story come to more naturally. Sounds like you have a beautiful spot to work.

The old factories speak of a time when the place bustled with industry. Not so long ago since I remember the factory whistles.<br /><br /><br /><br />Barbara Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379534828904059584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-88908754315149024762018-04-21T14:08:56.698-04:002018-04-21T14:08:56.698-04:00Hi Leah,

(We don't get the fall foliage down here in southern Virginia like we did up north.) Great setting. Your description of the old mansions reminds me of parts of Scranton, PA, where coal was once a booming industry. You see these giant old Victorian-era houses with wrap-around porches, renovated into apartments. But there's a street, too, filled with shack-like structures where those at the bottom lived. It's quite a disparity. (Not that we don't have that economic range today, too.) And of course Newport, Rhode Island...talk about mansions!
