A Long Distance Relationship With Setting

How do you choose the setting for your WIPs? Do you keep the setting close to home or use it as an opportunity to explore the unknown?

Since I’ve always been kind of a homebody, my fiction tends to reflect places I’ve known and loved. Earlier this week, I guest blogged for  Julia Munroe Martin’s Wordsxo about how moving out-of-state helped my writing by creating distance between me and my setting. I call it “long distance writing.” Have you tried it?

Take a moment to stop by Julia’s blog and let me know your thoughts!
