Story Settings How to improve your writing!
You can start your story by thinking about the setting. Where does your  story take place? What time of  day is it? What is the  weather like? Is it inside  Or outside?
Manipulate the reader with the setting. Use place as well as the weather, time of day and season, to create a setting. After all, a walk along a lane on a summery afternoon creates one atmosphere but the same lane on a dark wintry night would feel very different.
Use detail to bring the setting alive - base this on sense impressions. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Base settings on places that you know - plus some invented detail. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Use the setting to create atmosphere ,[object Object]
Remember: ,[object Object]
Use real or invented names to bring places alive ,[object Object],[object Object]
Once you have built the setting you can bring in the characters.  Who is there and why? Have fun creating your story setting!
