Setting the scene — No Comments

  1. Lovely post, darling! I agree settings are very important parts of the mood of a piece, and can be both a reflection or a portrait of a character too. They lift a heavy load, when you think about it, and deserve some careful thought. I like your method. I\’ll have to give that a try. And I bet RPing has helped with this too! =D

  2. Thanks babe! Actually, RP doesn\’t help all that much with setting. It does get a little… ah… confusing at times. But that helped make me aware of not making that same mistake in my writing. ^-^

  3. What a wonderful post, Eden. I love how you put it, how you used who your character is to build the room. It\’s a great exercise.

    Now I want to do it.

  4. Agreed. I\’m going to try that too. *nods*

    On the RPing – Really? A friend of mine that does it showed me some things, including detailed descriptions of scene-sets, houses, rooms, countryside … I suppose if you are really into writing settings, you can put that to use just about anywhere. =D

  5. thanks Byz, thanks Andi!

    And, yeah. If we have a space used frequently, we create a general description for continuity, but all in all setting is shamefully ignored. But then RP is mainly about characters than anything else.
