Share Your Travel Photos and Stories With Me?
http://myspace.com/austinfictionwriter
I'm writing my first fiction book and so far, I think it's coming along great! While I cannot disclose too much of it's contents, I will say that the story includes travel to many places both in the US and world wide. My problem as a writer is that I cannot visit every place in person that I'm writing about. I can do a lot of research on line and get many particulars about different places and peoples and such. But for the nitty gritty particulars, there's no substitute for actually having been someplace. I'm asking anyone who is interested in sharing their experiences and hopefully photos of places they've traveled to, so that I can accurately write about places I have never been to. Here's some background for you. In my story I travel to different places around the world, and I'm there for not more than 24 hours, give or take. So what I am hoping to get in photos especially and in description is specifically: - what streets do you take when headed to your destination? - what businesses (restaurants, shops, etc) do you pass on the way to your destination? - what interesting things do you see (landmarks, bridges, etc, natural features, etc) on the way to your destination? - what does your destination look like? Is it a house, hotel, motel, camp ground, resort, apartment, castle, barn, etc? - What were the people like there? Friendly, cranky, helpful, keep to them selves, etc. - What was the feel of the place you visited? Open and warm, alive and vibrant, conservative, etc. Your destinations do not have to be touristy in any way. In fact, just the opposite would be best. The photos and stories or descriptions you share could be of anyone (I won't know the difference) - missionary work that's been done, vacations you've been on, etc. I will not write an exact likeness of the photos you share. The names, places, people - everything will be changed so as not to compromise anyone's security or where abouts. I only want real world examples of places so that I can write as realistically as possible, turning real world people and places into fiction. I cannot pay any one or give anyone specific recognition for their submissions. I'm sorry, but I was advised against this. I thank everyone in advance for helping. |
