I like to be able to picture things vividly and want my readers to be able to do so, as well. Of course, I have to be careful not to over-describe settings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-69424640151039689222014-09-09T21:02:39.277-04:002014-09-09T21:02:39.277-04:00Hi Laura!

Even the name he chose, "Lemony Snickett" is such a good match for the series, isn't it? :-)Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-79026127106341258792014-09-09T21:01:21.979-04:002014-09-09T21:01:21.979-04:00Love your thoughts, Jennifer.

And as you said, we can offer differing glimpses to match moods or to mirror the story. It IS almost like our setting is a subplot! :-)Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-29770912547528382222014-09-09T20:59:31.976-04:002014-09-09T20:59:31.976-04:00LOVE that saying, Julie!!

Sometimes I read a story where the only physical description is on the first page and then 200 pages later, I can't remember where the forest was, and who lived next door . . . because it was only mentioned once and in one way. Continual description droplets throughout a novel can offer different aspects of that scary forest. In one chapter we notice it's dark. In another scene, we see that there are weird vines hanging from the trees, blocking light. In another scene, there is nothing growing on the forest floor. Hm . . . picture gets clearer as you process through the book. The background can almost mirror your story as you seamlessly describe it. The subplot that nobody notices is genius! The forest that changes for the worse as your characters experience defeat, and then when the characters make a change, the look of the setting might change as well - or the characters might notice the positive things more than the negatives. <br />Great post!Jennifer Fromkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304240313869397495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-62224473733195559512014-09-09T09:54:48.110-04:002014-09-09T09:54:48.110-04:00You know, I've never read those books?

...You know, I've never read those books? Crazy!<br /><br />Reminds me of the saying that went something like, "If there's a gun on the wall, there'd better be a reason."<br /><br />These are great reminders, Jody. In later drafts, I'll sprinkle in description throughout the scene.Julie Musilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150454913885915017noreply@blogger.com
