THIS ONE’S FOR REAL …

There’s a special kind of energy that comes from setting a story in your home environment — for this WIP I’m having fun making my scenes real. Really real :). And with it comes a bonus — I’m finding that checking out the locations and technicalities is actually helping bring the book to life in my mind, in a different way. I can literally feel my characters around me, almost see them in the crowds. It’s a fun change.

And check out the tree in the pic above – there actually is one, right alongside a thick rusting pipe, that my hero can use to climb up the back wall of the gondola building. Once up on that level, he needs to maneuver onto the roof of that ticket booth in the photo below, and swing himself up to the railing. The brown door with the no-entry sign is the cable car control booth. From this level he can … well, that’s for the book ;)

    Oh! That is just to cool! :) I usually pull on some things I know to be true and then on others… just decide things. Like say the balcony… I need one and decide… this place is going to have one. :)
