Yes, places can be inspiring although I tend to write about ones that featured in my childhood rather than my present day.

We went for a walk into high meadows and I remember standing on the boundary between Tallaght and somewhere else with one foot in Tallaght where it was snowy and the other foot in the other place where it wasn't.<BR/>Good luck with your Sligo story!Pat Posnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024751148905919332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007489185450890360.post-28516106440856953662008-07-13T17:50:00.000+01:002008-07-13T17:50:00.000+01:00Hi Pat I'm new to blogging and found your blog via...Hi Pat <BR/>I'm new to blogging and found your blog via Womag's blog ... and thought I'd say Hi.<BR/>It's great to find so many interesting writer's blogs. <BR/>I'm not particularly inspired by where I live ... although I have dabbled in local history. Instead, I've found places I've visited much more inspiring. I recently visited Sligo in Ireland, where my grandfather was born, it inspired me greatly... I just have to put pen to paper!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919354420843737481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007489185450890360.post-56246240393564962882008-07-12T09:57:00.000+01:002008-07-12T09:57:00.000+01:00Looking at the picture of where you live, I'm not ...Looking at the picture of where you live, I'm not surprised you're inspired by it.Deborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007489185450890360.post-89486845347713681652008-07-11T20:41:00.000+01:002008-07-11T20:41:00.000+01:00I live by the sea in a big old house in Bournemout...I live by the sea in a big old house in Bournemouth, and yes, I'm inspired by living here! Not sure if I've had any seaside stories published, though I've written some, but I've sold a few stories inspired by the house itself.
