Corresponding Lives

 




Here's Chris when we were in Stratford. It was about five years ago.  I believe it's Ann Hathaway's home in back of her.  This photo was taken in 1985 at my house in Bemidji, MN.
Here I am in the same tree trunk as Chris.  



Do you have a close friend? What do you enjoy doing together? Chris and I wrote each other for fifty-five years.  Your Soul on Paper. When you write down your feelings and thoughts, you bare your soul. Do you have a close friend that you’d like to see more frequently? How about sending them a letter? It’s good for the soul.

Characters. Where do they frequent?

 




   Do your characters like the same thing? Do they enjoy frequenting the same coffee shop, diner, liquor establishment? What about music? By not having the same tastes and interests, you are hereby opening scenes that will or can develop into conflicts between the protagonist and the secondary characters. If you are a mystery writer, the killer may have found another reason for murder.

Speaking of murder, does the killer versed in poison and completely dislikes coffee? Hmm...is the main character fussy? Will she only drink a certain brand of tea?



      I love my little corner of south Minneapolis because it's where I grew up, but also it has all that I need for my books. I have a coffee and wine bar plus a theater and the rest, I make up. It's always nice to have a fictional corner, but my old neighborhood suits me fine.  Here are the links to see pictures of Riverview Wine Bar and Coffee Shop  and the Riverview Theater.
