Wrong. I still have to do some research now and then to get it right.

I had to talk to the locals and experience the distances between places I wanted in the book as well as the intimidating height of the mountains, climate and culture. Fortunately, I had only written 8 chapters before my first trip because they had to be scrapped and I started the novel again. My protagonist needed an entirely different attitude and way of life. I can sympathise with you, too, over the need to travel to the Arthurian lands. Nevermind, someone has to do it :) Will you get to Glastonbury and climb the Tor of Avalon? I did. Have a wonderful trip and fill your mind with more of your wonderful stories..

In my book, Amanda in England-The Missing Novel I had visited all the sights in the book except I had never been on The London Eye. So I contacted a couple of young people who had experienced this modern landmark. They described to me their impressions and how it felt to be on it. That did the trick. So if you just can't be there, perhaps you can talk to someone who has. Now that might be more difficult if you are writing a historical novel! Have fun on your tour. You will love it. I've been to most of the Arthurian sights. Tintagle is amazing!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252671846285594734noreply@blogger.com
