While I wait for my final proof of the cover for Relic, and as summer wanes, my family
decided to take a day-cation to Letchworth State Park in New York. Located
along the Genesee River, there are beautiful vistas of the gorge and three
waterfalls.
The hikes in the woods and along the gorge reminded me that
there is a calmness of the soul that I experience when I am able to enjoy
nature. Maybe it was that clear mind that just made my imagination leap.
Everywhere I looked I saw settings for my writing. I was clicking away on my
camera recording unusual trees, rocks, buildings and landscapes for future
reference.
Nature is important for a writer to experience. Note the
lighting at different times of day, the smells, the sounds. The better a writer
can describe a setting, the more completely readers will be transported.
