Thanks again!
Lost of good links. My character has been wandering around for a while when we meet her so I'm sure she's learned a few tricks. But we won't be in New York long. I just have get a ground base for this novel to start.
Thanks!

Re: Need help from New Yorkers (19 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Ok...found some likely places. I'm going with my friend (who lives there now and is kind of into the fashion high life thing) who says the Meatpacking district is the place for fashion right now. Plus, I get to have a really cool old building to work with.
Anywho, my question is, would my character, who is trying to save every penny, walk from her hotel in the lower east side to the building at Little West 12th St and Washington. it's 2 miles, per google. Or is there a subway route that would get her there quicker. To me it seems walking would be quicker, but...I'm not a New Yorker. Of course, neither is she so she might just be as confused as me. LOL!
Thanks

Lived in NY for twenty years. Modeling agencies are often in midtown, especially Park Ave vicinity. To find a fleabag hotel (literally) just go to hotels.com, try to book a room in Manhattan (or any borough) and sort by price. The cheapest are the dirtiest. Hotel 17 is pretty nasty, as is The Chelsea Hotel, but there are probably worse. Anything on the Bowery is truly inhuman, but such lodgings may still exist.
I did the hotels.Com thing. I think the places I'm looking for don't advertise on the Internet. Lol!

I need cesspits
And legitimate agency in prime real estate though my friend just said a lot of the fashion industry is moving to the meat packer district into old warehouses.
And this is my research. Lol!

Hey Ya'll,
Part of my novel is set in New York City. I've been there once but other than that really have no clue about the different areas and inner workings. What I need to know is...
1. Where would a modeling agency be? Part of the city? Specific building? Anything to give it a realistic flare.
2. The closest nearby area with the cheapest motel How cheap can we go?
Thanks! I'll probably have more questions later.

Yes. Absolutely. I mean you can't really feel a color but you know darn well what you look like when it's happening.

I have a friend thinking about joining but she writes erotica mainly. I don't see much here and I can't remember that there ever was much in the past. Would anyone even review it?

Re: Hello (11 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Thanks for the pep talk! I'm so glad you took control and got your life back. I'm trying to crawl out of a black hole. It helps that every month or so I get a note from a fan wanting a sequel. But that's a lot of pressure and expectation. And there I go spiraling again. I've been looking at your chapters come up and would love to read them. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed though so don't expect anything right away but tell me where you would like me to start.
Thanks again,
Bimmy

Been awhile. How is everyone?
Just wanted to say I actually wrote something after like 3 years. Just a short story. But maybe a start? Funny how life sucks the words right out of your soul sometimes.
