The wonders of nature offer great sources of healing and inspiration and have always lifted my heart and spirit. To give you the feeling of really being on the trail in two of the most remarkable wilderness areas on the planet.
Making characters come alive is one of the trickiest but most important elements of writing. Before I start to write, I usually take extensive that description even further as I get to know better throughout each draft. When I see how the look in my mind and can hear their voice echoing, then I know I'm close to knowing who they are. But it's not until they lean close and whisper to me their innermost secrets their deepest fears, their highest hopes and their innermost longings that they are truly real. The most interesting characters, at least to me, are the ones who are complex and have many intricate threads woven into the tapestry of their story.
Nature plays a crucial role in fact, I'd go so far as to stay that I treat the natural world not merely as a setting, a backdrop for my stories but as a full-blown character. Places are alive, just like you or me! They have moods, histories, and qualities that can be bizarre, humorous, tragic, mysterious, or inspiring. Part of my job as a writer is to make those places so real, so sensuous, so fully alive, that readers want to voyage there again and again. Once I feel like my readers will be able to fully connect with these magical places, I begin to weave environmental themes and awareness into the stories.
