Writer on Location
Posted by LMReviewsDec 19
Welcome back!
If you’ve reviewed the content of this site for very long you know that I write about multiculturalism in current events and history but I also provide multicultural book and movie reviews. Of course, I also cover multicultural writing and book marketing. There is no shortage of content when you take such a broad view of multiculturalism as I do.
In doing so, I can view multiculturalism in every facet in which it exists. In building this blog I am finding that multiculturalism is the only limit I allow, but somehow it seems limitless. This is perfect for me as I thrive on variety—not change necessarily but variety.
I’ve mentioned before how different resources a writer uses can allow him or her to explore the limitless possibilities for creating multicultural works. In terms of setting, I love the Internet, because it can be static or very fluid. In terms of static details, I can view maps or websites about my location. In a more fluid nature I can get live feeds or book a trip to see my story’s location firsthand. Many authors travel to the setting in their novels (provided it actually exists of course) and turn a work trip into a family vacation. Of course I don’t claim to understand all the tax ramifications involved in this, but for a travel writer or writer willing to get immersed in the setting being created for their stories and characters, a trip may be in order.
Writers who write about a variety of destinations might find vacation resort ownership useful. Companies like Consolidated Resorts can take the guesswork out of deciding where to lodge so writers can focus on the environment and the people. It use to be that time shares were limited to the same few locations, but as with everything else people like choices. While others may view timeshares as strictly a vacation investment, for writers it can be a business investment too. Ownership in timeshares like what Consolidated Resorts can provide, writers can get a foot into a variety of destinations they may not have even considered writing about.
Even if you have no intention of traveling to the location where the stories are set, vacation timeshare sites like Consolidated Resorts can provide a wealth of information about vacation resorts story characters might visit. Writers can incorporate the details and give their characters a vacation of a lifetime without ever leaving home.
[...] Writer on Location, I talked about the use of timeshares to offset the cost of frequent travel lodging and the use of timeshare websites for researching your story’s setting. Why not use the information on timeshare websites like Consolidated Resorts to send your story’s characters on vacation. Websites for timeshare companies like Consolidated Resorts provide information about multiple locations in the timeshare network. You could use a travel site but you may not have an idea of where your character is going at first. With a timeshare site, there is a variety to destinations to feed your imagination. [...]
