My search question of the day: Do they sell liquor in Graceland?
First, it immediately made me start thinking - hey, good book title. Next, I thought - if my computer was seized, what conclusion would THAT lead someone to? Last, I knew that no matter what answer I came up with when the passing reference showed up in a book, someone, somewhere would complain that I got it wrong.
Btw, I did not get the easy answer I wanted but a barrage of stuff that, while might be helpful, wasn't going to help me vet that one line of dialog about wanting a drink before taking a tour of Elvis Presley's former home.
I did find some REALLY useful stuff at Wikipedia. Or maybe not. Okay, I confess, I changed the line a bit to work either way.
Writers can't be everywhere so that's why there's the internet.
I'd love to hear from other writers - what did you Google... on Bing... or Wikipedia...today?
and then moments later - Actual Bazooka Bubble Gum Fortunes. 6,980 returns. I bet I don't find what I'm looking for in any of them.

ReplyDeleteThanks Karen - blogging is so odd - I have more followers on this blog but many fewer readers and many, many fewer comments than on my just for fun blog. Thought asking a question might bring some people out to comment here :)
ReplyDeleteI use google almost every single day. Today I wanted to find the value of an old book I have...and where the closest tall man's store was, and what the weather is like right now in Salem, Ohio.
ReplyDeleteHey, what can I say? I'm a complex kinda girl. ha!
