Swans In Stavanger, Norway
If you love swans, as I do, you’ll likely love Stavanger, Norway.
They were EVERYWHERE, even in places they shouldn’t be (which was often obstructing traffic – grins). And they were GORGEOUS.
They can definitely be found near less boat traffic heavy bodies of water.

Stavanger, Norway Street Art
Stavanger is known as the street art capital of Norway. They host a huge celebration of street art every year.
And their streets are filled with art.
Everywhere.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I walked as much as we could and looked for the street art. It was a fun way to spend part of the day.

Gamle Stavanger, Norway
When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were in Stavanger, Norway, we trekked around Gamle Stavanger, which is the older part of the town.
Stavanger is one of the oldest settlements in Norway. Some of the houses in old town date back to the 18th Century.
There are cobblestone streets and beautiful gardens. It was a lovely way to spend part of our visit.

Muse Food – Ledaal, Norway And Introducing Characters
Our first sight of Ledaal, a magnificent historical Royal home in Stavanger, Norway took our breaths away.
The long pathway, the framing of the trees, the gates (not shown in the photo), all of it was carefully designed to do exactly that. It wasn’t accidental. It was orchestrated to relay awe and wonder.
We, writers, should be as deliberate and careful when we introduce heroes and heroines and other key characters in our stories. First impressions are lasting impressions. And this is as true on the page as it is in real life.
How do you want your characters to be perceived?
Ensure a reader’s first meeting with them reflects that.
