I ...Going to the source is a great way to get info. I contacted a local military base to find out if I could get a tour so I could get up close and personal in my setting for my current WIP. For my next WIP, my MC is a dancer, so I'm planning on observing (and maybe even taking) some dance classes.<br /><br />This kind of research is my very favorite. :)Shalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907680428735740943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-38849434264369813712011-04-15T08:58:59.733-06:002011-04-15T08:58:59.733-06:00Is it nude wrestling?

Mostly park rangers. However, in fiction I have not yet found the need. I do believe it enhances the writing, though.<br />Good to see you on #ninjachat today!Susan Oloierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07311938400999953443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-51181412712246254272011-04-14T12:07:35.136-06:002011-04-14T12:07:35.136-06:00Reece - it depends on what you're going for.

You'd be surprised what you can find in a phone book, or resources you can pull from staff at universities, or take interest in the people you know and what they do. Having an uncle in the National Guard and a neighbor who served overseas have been a great help for my military-related writings.David P.
