I tried to explain, but he brushed me off, though we did go on the ghost tour. Oddly, it wasn't those stories that inspired me so much as some of the vacant buildings. All sorts of possible scenarios . . .Julie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-55922057442548290842011-06-09T20:54:23.529-04:002011-06-09T20:54:23.529-04:00@Lea--thanks for your comment!

I don't put enough setting and description into my stories, which are fast paced, but good description is so important so I usually have to go back and add it in. I'm learning to add more as I go. It really can add a whole other dimension to a story. This was very inspiring, and I love the photos.Anita Clenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121439834252671730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-76858021055603679832011-06-02T14:03:09.270-04:002011-06-02T14:03:09.270-04:00I love old buildings, even the old purely wooden o...I love old buildings, even the old purely wooden ones that look about ready to fall down. They each have so much to tell us. Great post! I loved the pictures. Makes me want to go to Detroit now!! Always enjoyable Eliza!

Just saw this post on my CHRW...Hi Laura and Eliza,<br /><br />Just saw this post on my CHRW Daily Digest loop. What a fascinating topic! Of course, history is fascinating. But to use the architecture as a character adds to the depth and structure, so to speak. i LOVE that Unitarian Church--yes, it looks Gothic, like the perfect retreat for a vampire. Great eye for his secondary home too. I can see how stories form as you look at the buildings. Interesting concept. When I go to New Orleans next week, I'll be looking at the buildings with a fresh eye. <br /><br />And yes, the pen is mightier than the sword. Look at Charles Dickens. Or in America at the turn of the 20th century, writers like Frank Norris, Upton Sinclair and Theodore Dreiser. So, a book using architecture as character can show the validity of maintaining historic buildings. After all, our past is what has made our present.<br /><br />Congratulations on the release of Forever Freed. <br />JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-33149570988445509912011-06-02T09:37:35.184-04:002011-06-02T09:37:35.184-04:00I love seeing the photos of these buildings!
