Does anyone ever travel to get ideas of what to use from certain places in your book if it takes place on Earth? Or even gotten the chance?
Personally I would love that, and I've had many chances for it in America, but I didn't write at the time; and now I want to go To Japan for one I'm trying to work on now, but I don't have the chance. xp

I'd love to see how it feels to free climb a rock wall or fall out of an airplane or to be inside a volocano ... oh, not exactly what you were looking for? (Oh great, I'm going to end up an adreneline junkie.)

If it'd help you with writing about doing something or with describing a place, yeah, that is what I'm looking for. razz

Okay then there's climbing hundred fifty foot trees, climbing to the top of mountains without oxegyn support (says the guy with asthma that acts up in the cold), live in underground tunnels for a few days, deep sea dive, walk across the Sahara Desert ...

I would love to. I never travel, but I love to. Travelling can really help you create more exotic, descriptive settings, and also more accurate.
I think that's why my stories all have bland settings, or imaginary/fantasy ones. Huh.

I think that's why my stories all have bland settings, or imaginary/fantasy ones. Huh. Possiably, but even fantasy needs some idea of rock formations, ect. Maybe you'll travel someday.

But those sort of things can be created with your knowledge and a bit of imagination; you do live someplace, after all. And I really want to travel to many places someday. First up, naturally, is Japan whee

No I don't. We travel so much already that we technicly don't live anywhere and home is where we sleep. Like up a tree (okay, I was the only one who did that).
Anyway, seeing new lands and building first hand really helps ... and it is downright interesting in itself. I'd like to see the interior design of the Roman Colosiem(sp) and the buildings in Chicago are interesting as well. I alway wonder what it is like to be on top of a mountain without oxegyn support ...

Really comes in handy there. wink
I've slept in trees before. I'LL GO TO ROME WITH YOU! VATICAN CITY!!!

I consider where ever you are at the moment to be where you "live". And because we all live - and can see - we have already seen some types of setting (different buldings we've been to, the local wildlife of wherever you are at the moment, etc.). I'd like to sleep in a tree... There's this fairly small tree near here that I like to sit and read/write in during the summer.
