I think it could also make a good place for a ghost story. :-) The Elms really is the perfect setting for some romantic writing. I think it could also make a good place for a ghost story. :-)

I'd love to go there and spend the day and get inspired for some romantic writing. I just read your "new schedule" blog. I think cutting down is a wise thing to do. What a gorgeous place!

The more history they have, the more real they seem. Lol Heather! I'm sorry that's your prominent memory of Newport! But it certainly makes for a good story. :-) Valerie - I don't know if I'd want door to nowhere in my real house, but I've been thinking of putting them into a fictional house and confusing my poor characters. Heehee. Laura – You’re absolutely right about characters. The more history they have, the more real they seem.

We climbed on some rocks at the water's edge below one of the estates(I don't remember which). I slipped on the rocks, fell in, and had to go to a fancy brunch with a wet butt. But we had a blast!

And green grass. Wow. I can't believe they were going to tear that house down. It seems beautiful. I totally agree. Not just with settings but with characters too. I think its history specific to them that makes them come alive. Amazing how any experience can translate over to writing. :) Great pictures. And green grass. Wow.
