The setting tends to take on the form of a character for me before coming to life.

I try to pick places I can research online if I haven't been there. I usually have some aspect of Christianity in my works, so I keep close to scripture, quoting it entirely if I can, there are great setting descriptions there. If it's a paranormal work, I build on what's already known, and push it a little further. FYI, get on Pinterest and grab pics that flesh out your works and your settings. You can make it private as you're writing, then if you want make it public later. Readers love seeing how their favorite authors process, then create settings. I have a Books and Updates board that I use That has pictures that give flesh to things, places and people I have written about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181250177227150880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850834701427655460.post-86285614693385446862014-01-05T14:46:18.805-05:002014-01-05T14:46:18.805-05:00Hi Babette.
