One of the best forms of research, per author Neil V. Young, is visiting a setting, place, or scene in person. Many writers make the mistake of providing only visual descriptions in their story, which leaves the reader wanting more. When you physically visit a place, all 5 senses are hard at work. Fully immerse your reader in your setting or scene by describing the other senses such as smell and sound. What does your character hear? How does the air or environment smell?<br /><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/HowVisitingLocationsinPersonCanInspireYourWriting.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../HowVisitingLocationsinPersonCanInspireYourWriting.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/i-have-an-idea/w/researching-your-idea/7930/how-visiting-locations-in-person-can-inspire-your-writing/revision/2Fri, 18 Sep 2020 13:58:28 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:0d5fec2a-34a4-479f-b0d5-40b79b287251Neil V.
