I know you want to create the most amazing and evocative descriptions of the settings you're inventing for our story. Thank you!
As I work with aspiring (and many published) novelists, one thing I see lacking much of the time is excellent description.
I realized that this isn't something we often learn as we're gaining mastery of the craft of fiction. So I sat down and wrote a 4-part series on writing descriptions that make settings come alive to the reader.
You'll find the series in Tips 5-8 at this link: www.wherethemapends.com/writerstools/writers_tools_pages/tip_of_the_week--01-10.htm.
Please, please, please consult those articles and then give us settings described using those techniques.
Thank you.
