Travel The World With Post Cards 5/16/2005 3:32:32 PM
Writing on the Run Tip of the Week eZine www.writingontherun.com ran my tip in their May 15, 2005 Issue
I've been collecting post cards from my travels and those of my friends since I was a small child. I never realized their value until I decided to write. When I need a story setting or descriptive details, I head to the shoebox.
The cards are organized by country and by state/province and sometimes by city, depending on the collection size. The blurbs sometimes provide a clue in furthering research efforts. Once located, I just pull the necessary cards and add them to my story folder.
