Yeah, I love it, but I don't know if I really want to stay here - the heat has gotten so bad (humidity and pollution) - the summers are terrible.Bailey Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639029254352011915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1150985829815701762006-06-22T08:17:00.000-06:002006-06-22T08:17:00.000-06:00Have a great time!

I don't go back much now. I would visit Maxx a couple times per year but now that she's moved up here, there's really no reason to. My family all made the move up here with me.Kelly Boycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459592836145655997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1150924254043146752006-06-21T15:10:00.000-06:002006-06-21T15:10:00.000-06:00Dana - I don't know that I necessarily love this t...Dana - I don't know that I necessarily love this town...I always like to go back and visit, but there is no way I could ever live there again. Most of my family is there, though, so I get to go back quite often.<BR/><BR/>Stacy - Thanks for dropping by! Is it different to live in your hometown after being away for awhile?<BR/><BR/>Jason - You're absolutely right. This will definitely give my novel a rich flavor. :-)Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1150923294774712262006-06-21T14:54:00.000-06:002006-06-21T14:54:00.000-06:00Melissa, knowing and revisiting the setting will a...Melissa, knowing and revisiting the setting will add so much to your novel!
