I think as a writer, visiting locations we're writing about can add a layer of magic--of realness--to the page. So I definitely agree with traveling! My special place is Nova Scotia. Incredible beauty and magic there. <3 Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747144518868320969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-80854606884556203202014-07-11T15:53:55.826-07:002014-07-11T15:53:55.826-07:00I would if we ever took vacations.
