And I think that writing about places that you love (or think you love) will come across in your book. I even have favourite seasons-I'm inspired by autumn, and I'm a total sap for winter/Christmas. I could go on and on describing the setting...hmm, maybe that's another post...when too much is too much ;-)Victoria Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678423453423417376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156535934178525341.post-79596351441754080592012-07-25T16:58:01.220-04:002012-07-25T16:58:01.220-04:00Into the abyss!

The beauty of going back is layering in things like the setting or other little details that pull it all together - s much more fun than the original draft in many ways. Good luck on your second round of revisions!Olivia Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440900565624321487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156535934178525341.post-69761289666472543942012-07-25T14:14:59.876-04:002012-07-25T14:14:59.876-04:00As I'm approaching the 2nd revision stage, tha...As I'm approaching the 2nd revision stage, thanks for the reminder of setting. It's easy to become so wrapped up in the characters and before you know it they are floating into nothingness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709951840832758894noreply@blogger.com
