There are
two things I need before I set pen to paper, or my fingers to the computer
keyboard. First I sat down and gave names/personalities to all of my characters
and I try to imagine what each of them looks like in person. I give them a life
story, favorite things, etc,. Then I imagined the town where they live.
Carter's Pass is a fictional town near the Cascade Mountains of Eastern Oregon,
the kind of place I would love to live in myself, though of course they're
not isolated from the world. I gave Carter's Pass a population, broken down by
race, creed, income, religion, even an infrastructure (fire, water,
electricity, medical care) They have cell service and internet, there's major
shopping about three miles outside of town. I have several other Carter's Pass
tales in my head at the moment, so stay tuned.
Where did I get my idea for #ForgettingJake?
That's going to be the subject for my next blog. So stay tuned...
