Google Stalking

Since I am anxiously and not patiently waiting to hear feedback from my Beta Readers for Mother's Day, I realized I needed to do something to take my mind off the book. So, I decided to write another one.

And I started thinking... don't worry
I didn't injure myself to much!

I know, I know. Didn't I say I was going to start that awhile ago. Yep. And then I get distracted. I get distracted easily you know.

But it is all part of the creative process. You see, I have been thinking. Thinking a lot about the story and trying to come up with different scenarios that would work before I sat down and really started writing. After all, I waste enough time between Facebook, Twitter, and Blogging. I didn't want to waste time on a book that I couldn't fully flush out.

And then out of nowhere, I got another idea. It involves love, it involves death, it involves.... zombies! 

Yes, I decided to take the trend of zombies and run with it. Think of a story and really flesh it out! (Pun intended!)

It could be worse... I could have went with sparkly vampires!

The real reason they don't go out in the sun. They sparkle!

So needless to say, I have been doing some research. This manuscript doesn't have as much dialogue. I have good reason for that. This manuscript is also from a first person point of view. There is also a reason for that. But I need details. I need to find the inside story. I need to get inside this persons head and there house.

So I did the ultimate bad deed. I went further than I have ever gone before.

I Google stalked.

I knew the area I was referencing for the setting and I wanted to make sure I was being somewhat accurate, even if it is a fiction book. And I found a house. I found my character's house.

I feel in love with the look of it. There is only one problem.

I am a writer... not a architect. So until I figure out the floor plan of the inside... I am kind of stuck. Maybe I should have taken a different route. Find the floor plan and then describe the house.

Wouldn't you like to live here.?
It seems so cozy!

Oh well, hind sight is always 20/20. 

But I absolutely love the house - Don't you? It just feels quaint and like home.

I think my character will like it too. Now hopefully she doesn't end up walking into an imaginary wall!
