Sometimes the research comes to you
Back in February I wrote a scene for Near Miss that involved a car accident.
A month ago I re-wrote that scene to be a bit more 'in the moment'.
On Saturday my boys and I were involved in an accident that was eerily similar to what I had described.
While I'm still sore in spots and not ready to resume my normal activities I can say that I used the experience to re-write the scene again.
I don't advocate first hand experience when it comes to this type of research, but I'm glad to use it since it came.
