Quiet country place, absolutely. I live on a lake that has a beach nearby. My place has oak and pine trees, a cabin, and also a big house.
Fishing is near by too. The only reason I miss living in town is because it is so far from here to go shopping. You notice I said "town", not city.
I would not live in a city for love or money.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
