There are a handful of objects and images that appear, often more than once. Motifs add meaning, and help create the unique world of the story.

Whatโ€™s a motif thatโ€™s stuck with you from a book or film?

Sheโ€™s fashionable. Confident. A little unconventional. And, crucially, sheโ€™s showing Lottie a version of womanhood that feels newer and freer than anything she grew up around. One of the things I loved about writing The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor was using the clothes to help tell that story. The fashion still matters... I just eventually learned it doesnโ€™t all need its own paragraph.Photo, no description

I love old houses.

Unfortunately, Rough Draft Me loved them a little ๐ญ๐จ๐จ much.

Winthrop House in The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor was heavily inspired by ๐€๐œ๐ค๐ฅ๐š๐ฆ ๐‡๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ, a seventeenth-century mansion in Middlesbrough.

I love old houses. Unfortunately, Rough Draft Me loved them a little ๐ญ๐จ๐จ much. Winthrop House in The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor was heavily inspired by ๐€๐œ๐ค๐ฅ๐š๐ฆ ๐‡๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ, a seventeenth-century mansion in Middlesbrough. And when I first wrote Lottieโ€™s arrival there, apparently I decided the reader needed to know ๐™€๐‘ฝ๐™€๐‘น๐™”๐‘ป๐™ƒ๐‘ฐ๐™‰๐‘ฎ. The mullioned windows. The stone lintels. The chimneys. The cornices. The pilasters. The pediment. The coat of arms. Basically, I stopped writing a gothic novel and briefly became a very enthusiastic real-estate agent and/or architectural essayist. The final version keeps what actually matters: Winthrop House is orderly, prosperous, bright, and untouched by decay. Everything Bradbury Manor isnโ€™t. That contrast tells you more about both houses than three paragraphs of architectural vocabulary ever could. Sometimes research gives you more detail. Editing teaches you which details deserve to survive. Swipe for the real Acklam Hall and then for the ๐‘๐Ž๐”๐†๐‡ ๐ƒ๐‘๐€๐…๐“ ๐•๐„๐‘๐’๐ˆ๐Ž๐โ„ข in all its Zillow-listing glory.Photo, no descriptionPhoto, no description

One of the things I loved researching for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor was all the tiny sensory details that make 1919 feel lived in.

Clothes are easy to show. Smell is a little trickier.

One of the things I loved researching for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor was all the tiny sensory details that make 1919 feel lived in. Clothes are easy to show. Smell is a little trickier. Lottieโ€™s mother wore ๐‘ฌ๐’‚๐’– ๐’…๐’† ๐‘ช๐’๐’๐’๐’ˆ๐’๐’† ๐’‚๐’– ๐‘ฏ๐’†ฬ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’•๐’“๐’๐’‘๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’š ๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’“๐’•๐’†๐’๐’๐’Š, an actual early-20th-century fragrance with that sweet, powdery, almond-and-vanilla character that became tied to Lottieโ€™s memories of her. And unlike some of the other things Iโ€™ve shared from the rough draftโ€ฆ I apparently decided this one was worth keeping almost exactly as written. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The location changed. The scene got tighter. But the green bottle, faded flowers, and that scent bringing her mother back for just a moment all survived. Sometimes editing means cutting half the description and once in a while you look at something and think: Nope. That stays.Photo, no description
