The Power of the Internet

So the book is getting closer and closer to being finished. My current goal is by Monday, but that could change...

The power of the Internet...

In my story in the book, I am in a manic state of post traumatic stress after the Hurricane. I go to describe the methadone clinic in Rhode Island, and I am having trouble picturing it in my head. I cannot even remember the name.We all know how the details can get a little fuzzy in our memories, especially for those of us whose memories are laden with multiple substances...

I google "methadone clinic in Newport RI", and the name and information instantly pop up. I click on the bold blue name of the clinic, and right before my eyes google maps provided me with a picture. You can even get up so close that you are right at the front door of the clinic, getting ready to walk in...

And all the memories of the place come rushing back over me, until I am almost there once more

Oh, the power of the fucking Internet!

  1. I LOVE THE GOOGLE! You can find anything in the world with it, if you know how to look.

    Congratulations on the book!
