Question: Where are some good locations for a story I'm writing!?
It takes place during the summer, and I'd like it to be in the forest area, you know where people go on bad family vacations!? It can be warm, but also rain sometimes too!. With a creek or lake!.
The place doesn't need to be exactly to my description, but it has to go along those lines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Northern California has some beautiful scenery, Mountains, Lakes, Forests and landmarks!.!.!.

Specifically Mt!. Shasta, near the Redding area of N!.Cali, My last family trip we also went to a lighthouse near this small city!.!.!. It's foggy near the beaches but it really is a beautiful place!. There's old faithful geyser and the redwood forest in Northern California as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's easier to write what you know, or just make up a place!. If your writing fiction it doesn't have to be a real place!. It's going to be much harder writing about a place you've never been to!. You're going to have to do a lot of research so that you sound like you've been to this place before!. Trust me people will be able to tell if your just winging it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're serious about your story and want to get it published!.!.!.then you need to choose a place you are familiar with!. You can't write about a place in California if you've never been there!.

But if this is just for fun then Pennsylvania!. Loads of forest areas with creeks, lakes, and rain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why does it need to be an actual place!? Make it up! That's the beauty of writing!. That way you can customize it so that it fits with your story!.

lol, I think Cavanaugh Park would be a cool name for it!.
