Settings - A Mini-Topic

Each story needs a setting. It anchors your reader to time and place, season, lighting and lets her keep her bearings.

Even in Space Everyone Agrees on UP.

Even if it only shows up in your notes there are some things to consider in your settings.

Time and Place
Temperature and Season
Lighting, Sounds and Smells
Symbols and Images

The following prompt or writing exercise includes a randomly generated time of day, location, weather and atmosphere. From the web page Create a Setting.

It’s mid-morning.
There’s bright sunshine.
You’re in a forest.
There’s a cold feel to the place.

Drop by the chat room on Sunday Evening and we will talk about Setting. Leave comments on the blog page. Don't forget to share us and like us.
