I collect pictures from magazines and the internet, I make collages of settings, but the ones I draw on mainly are the ones from my childhood of the mountains I explored in the summer, the rivers, everything to do with nature. I can stick anything in there, aliens, faeries, vampires, two normal kids. That's my favorite setting. Of course if I ever write anything that gets published, I'll have to find a new setting *grins*<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887055429481495116.post-2574646030964571602012-08-29T16:43:22.793-07:002012-08-29T16:43:22.793-07:00It's funny that you love settings due to your ...It's funny that you love settings due to your theater background and I have to consciously include them due to mine.
