It was a great day all around yesterday, and when I finally handed in my much rewritten first chapter, I was happy with the results. Of course today is another day and now I have to try and figure out where I am going next with my novel. I am in completely uncharted territory and my idea board is starting to get crowded. Good thing it is a dry erase board I can wipe it all off and start again! I am thinking of putting my protagonist on a plane and sending her off to one of the countries that I recently visited, but what I really want to do...is send her somewhere I haven't gone. Somewhere far away and mysterious, and then I would have to go..right? For research?
Has anyone ever done this? Traveled to real place for their work of fiction?

Hey gina!
i have travelled places for work - but never LITERAL places.
or literal places that i have travelled for work, always came BEFORE the work.
i never knew i would use my experiences later, but that's the great part of being an artist, isn't it? every experience has worth:)
love you can't wait to read the new book! and the old book.....HINT HINT.
Great to see you here Katie!!
Oh use it all I say! It seems only fair:)And yes, it is great thing about being an artist...no experience gets wasted and there is always something good that can come out it.
I could feel that HINT all the way from here :)
