Dear Camy,
If you go, please write up your experience there and let us know what it
smelled like, sounded like, and felt like. Too many of my past creative
writing
students too often neglected these "sensory details," focusing solely on
the
visual. All the senses, effectively offered and described can cloth the
imagination and imprint one's experience upon the mind of another.
Another sense that is extensive in it's reach and understanding and
power--is the sense of humor. Please let us know if they have one there at
Sam's old
house. Without that, any such place is simply a museum, a lifeless, dusty
archive.
Respectfully,
David H. Fears
