It's so easy to not think beyond sight, or rely on adjectives and adverbs.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-81846664271341848002009-01-07T14:27:00.000-08:002009-01-07T14:27:00.000-08:00I really liked this post.

I never delve into the setting as much as I should, except for mentioning that the characters are in a hallway or a classroom.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804128461332841679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-4632376734307773952009-01-07T13:30:00.000-08:002009-01-07T13:30:00.000-08:00I know, locker conversations happen all the time i...I know, locker conversations happen all the time in real life!

Also, some of my best conversations (the memorable ones) in high school were in front of those school lockers! :-)Kristina Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171504801682649341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-16925719197458787252009-01-07T10:04:00.001-08:002009-01-07T10:04:00.001-08:00Wow, great list, Deena!I struggle with details, wh...Wow, great list, Deena!<BR/><BR/>I struggle with details, which is one of the reasons why I'll admit I like writing in verse sometimes, because there isn't as much description, obviously. :)Lisa Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677227681455190084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-24702086765230872262009-01-07T10:04:00.000-08:002009-01-07T10:04:00.000-08:00Excellent thoughts and examples Deena!

I should have thought to mention this in my post, but I think sometimes I'm so worried about having a different setting in each scene that I forget about the overall picture the setting needs to create to give a good "feel" to the novel and someplace the reader can orientate themselves again (such as a favorite hangout, interesting room, or something like that).Emily Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073350248209507278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-16354118690652775152009-01-07T07:48:00.000-08:002009-01-07T07:48:00.000-08:00What I liked about your sample is that it doesn't ...What I liked about your sample is that it doesn't just describe the setting, it shows how the MC feels about it. I try to remember that, too. Our characters get to react to their settings.Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.com
