Creating Believable Settings
Setting is the lifeblood of your story-world. You need it to be believable and engaging so that readers can slip into this place you’ve created. In some ways this can be easier when you’re creating a fantasy because you are the only expert on the world you’ve made. If you’re basing your story in a […]
Catching up
I’ve been sick for over two weeks and also dealing with a sick husband towards the tail end. I’ve gotten next to nothing done.

Setting up the Setting
Setting is one of the things that I initially struggle with in my first drafts. I’m really bad for having my characters almost free floating with no discernable location.
