Hitting the editing slump as I have been, I realized a couple of days ago that I am missing a key piece of information as a result of my city-girl upbringing. Chapter 4 in SotO features a harvest festival, a holiday built from the cultures of the people of Shadowhaven, a mixture of the religious and the magical. However, I don't have a frame of reference for a small town fair. I grew up in Los Angeles, where such a thing just doesn't exist.
So, in the interest of getting back on track, I am appealing you friends. Do you know of any movies or episodes of television shows out there that have a small town country festival or fair or some such celebration that I might be able to glean inspiration from? So far the only thing I can think of is the fair in Steel Magnolias but I'm sure there is better out there.
Also, I am still looking for sets of eyes to read the manuscript. Boyfriend is giving great feedback from his reading, but he's just one person, and a biased one at that. I figure that if you're interested enough to read the blog (even if it is for gaming articles) then you might also enjoy fantasy literature. Wow, did I just call this tripe "literature?"
