Plea for Help!
Oct. 22nd, 2007 06:51 amNo fic this morning. Still working on "Safety in Silence" and I have a heck of a headache so the writing I thought I'd get done this morning... Didn't get done. Obviously. Instead I am sending out a plea for help.
The fic I will be writing for NaNoWriMo will be VigOrli and takes place in England, specifically Canterbury and London. Problem is: I've never been to either place! So I'll need some advice on landmarks, keeping my fictional spots sounding real, and the sights, sounds, smells of things. Also, has anyone ridden the train from Canterbury to London or vice versa?
The characters will pretty much be themselves except for the fact that Viggo ISN'T an actor and so NZ never happened. He's an artist but Orlando is an actor who will be starring in a play. Wow, the originality just jumps out at you, doen't it?! What I am unfamiliar with is the whole acting in a play thing. Except for high school productions (and I went to a very very small school) I've never been involved in a play, so any help with how a play is put together and through opening night would be most appreciated.
Let's see...*consults the mighty notebook* Also need help with an "artist's language. Names of paints, terms, that sort of thing.
Okay, here's to hoping I can get that last bit of "Safety in Silence" written...especially since I appearantly missed Viggo's birthday! *hides*
