We have settings within our settings, right. I think there's a value to Anytown, USA type settings. I've seen them work very well.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-64921507203571421922011-02-04T14:31:38.220-06:002011-02-04T14:31:38.220-06:00Is Anytown, USA an ok setting as long as the speci...Is Anytown, USA an ok setting as long as the specific places within that town are "special"? I could move my current story to just about any mid-size town in the US, and it wouldn't change, but if, say, the youth room where my first chapter takes place, was changed, it would make the story very different. The homes of my characters are very specific as well.<br /><br />What do you think?Jordan Elizabethhttp://heavenlyprincess.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-19237382410799564292011-02-04T13:30:28.100-06:002011-02-04T13:30:28.100-06:00Stephanie, for the writing prompt is it ok to use ...Stephanie, for the writing prompt is it ok to use lines from a song in a few places?Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500897912581589616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-69619858483521836402011-02-04T13:13:38.882-06:002011-02-04T13:13:38.882-06:00First off, Roald Dahl is my favorite author of all...First off, Roald Dahl is my favorite author of all time. <br /><br />Second, Roseanna that quote just made my day! I love it, and with this current ms it makes me feel good. It's so easy to get frustrated with a wip that it's really nice when something makes you feel like your on the right track!Nicole McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467516937078644466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-88898975240895247392011-02-04T09:36:10.724-06:002011-02-04T09:36:10.724-06:00I once heard (or probably read) someone say someth...I once heard (or probably read) someone say something like, "If your story wouldn't change if you moved it, then you haven't found the right setting." This really struck me, because at the time I was pretty willy-nilly about where I set something. Since then, I've made a concerted effort to weave my story thoroughly through its location, wherever that may be.<br /><br />Now back I go to Annapolis, which is rather crucial to this one's devlopement. ;-)Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.com
