Places that tickle my muse

It's interesting in the beginning of the writing process of something like what I'm about to do to get to know your characters and find out what they're made of - what they feel and who they are. I sometimes imagine that they are real people and not just figments of my imagination. However, never before have I felt more attached to a couple of character like I am to Chris and Anna. I really believe that this will be a journey filled with adventures and the final result will be more than pleasing.
I don't always find inspiration everywhere, there are some places that tickle my muse, like the little shack on Fisherman's wharf in Provincetown's old harbor or under the old trees in Cambridge's Harvard Yard. The key word is old. Even if I'm still young (or at least I like to think of myself as such) and I know how to use all the miracles of technology, I still feel the need to write on paper, my characters are better brought to life in my own handwriting, using my favorite golden pen.
