misslj_authorDay Fourteen: How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?
Generally, I look at places whose history interests me: France, the UK, Egypt, Rome, Russia or my own country, Australia. Sometimes, I'll be piqued by the name of a place, such as Mount Brocken in Germany. Usually, however, my choice of location is based on whichever place I'm most interested in at a given moment. I think I posted enough links of awesome places in the earlier post where I talked about the catacombs beneath Paris, so I'll let that batch of links stand for this question as well.
Day Fifteen: Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not!
Admiring a writer as opposed to enjoying their work is something of a fine line of distinction. I admire those writers who work I enjoy but the only writer I can think of off the top of my head whose work has influenced me in terms of narrative development, continuity, scope and narrative arc as well as being a writer whose work I've enjoyed is J. Michael Stracynski and not for a novel. No, for what he did with Babylon 5 which to this day remains my favourite show. Equal to Supernatural, admittedly.
