Last December, I had an impromptu visit to UPR Botanical Garden in Rio Piedras. To my surprise, I not only stepped on a place resembling one of the kingdoms of Ascensión Divina, but there was also a route that inspired my work in progress. In this An Author’s Vlog #27, I take you on a stroll through this beautiful and inspirational botanical garden.
To be able to step into a place that resembles what you have written and the one you imagine for your work in progress is inspirational. As you know, I have been writing the new story at Old San Juan for part of the first act, and half of the second takes place there. It feels like I’m walking through the places my characters have walked, sat down with their friends, and faced their fears. I breathe deeply and look around for a few minutes, enjoying the scenery. Then, I take my pen, notebook, or computer, and write as you have seen on An Author’s Vlog videos. I can tell you I’ve enjoyed this process immensely and as I finish this first draft of which I’m behind my deadline, I fell more in love with it.
I hope you enjoy this video. Don’t forget to comment, like, share, and subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss the following ones. Have a beautiful and inspirational day.
P.S.: Have you visited this garden?
