#WritersCoffeeClub June 4: In what ways do your real-world surroundings appear in your work?
Something must have been reorganized on the site, because this was at least briefly for the 1st when I answered it, but I've had a little more time to think about it.
The real answer to that is I am really good at writing Wisconsin and I do have a whole game of it in *Superhero League of Wausau*, as well as Ethan being a Wisconsinite. I've lived in or at least seen the state from some of its most rural to most of its biggest cities, and there's a lot worth celebrating.
My immediate surroundings, maybe not so much, other than little things like VR. But a lot of the big things, I think, like the hilly geography and the temperate climate, tend to come through even without me realizing it. Maybe it's just because those things were in games as soon as the 3D era hit and it just felt normal, but "normal" is relative and for people below the glacial deposits, it must be so alien.
