I've always loved older buildings, particularly historical ones, as my family would often go to historical sites on vacations. (Dad loves history.) But now that I'm writing again, I find myself noticing little nooks and crannies in these old buildings. Stuff like a small door by the stair case in my friend's house that kind of looks like a laundry shoot or a door that looks like it leads to stairs in an older building. I've also noticed things in a small little tourist trap of a historical town I love to hang out at, that there are some buildings and things that are now out of place but might have been used in the past. And they make me stop and think: What were they used for and can I use them in my writing? It's gotten to the point where I'm regularly bringing a camera with me, just so I can get a picture for visual references.
Anyone else notice that little things, odd things, grab their attention more? For the most part, I write fantasy - both medieval and urban.
