How to Write a Good Story: Setting

  So, some time ago we worked on characters. We worked on who the characters are and tips on how to create good ones. Today we will work on setting.
  Setting is the time and place the story takes place, or in other words, the WHEN and WHERE.

Time- Year, month, day, season, clock time, morning, afternoon, evening, light, dark, dawn, dusk, sun, moon, and stars are all forms of time.

Place- Building, city, state, country, geography, urban, suburban, rural, weather, indoors, outdoors, and landmarks are all forms of place.

**Create a sense of time and place**

(Show Don't Tell)

How to Create a Realistic Setting-

• Try to base the setting off places you have been
• Use the five senses-Sensory Detail
• Help your reader feel like they are really there 
• Give the reader hits about time and place
