Faith Blum started the topic Topic #24: Introducing Settings and stakes in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago
To be honest with you, this is one area I have been extremely weak in. I’ve always had a hard time describing settings. I write historical fiction, so that’s part of it because I have to try to figure out what the setting even looks like. So I usually do the lazy thing and don’t describe it at all. Then I read Structuring Your Novel by K.M. Weila…[Read more]

Character introductions are very important in a book. What kinds of things do we need to remember when we are working on the beginning of our WIPs? K.M. Weiland has a few in her book, Structuring Your Novel that I’m going to share with you today.

For those doing NaNoWriMo, this could be helpful for you. And even for those who aren’t.
There are a few things you need to make sure you have in your first few chapters. I’ll go into a little more detail on some of them in subsequent weeks, but for now I’ll just go into a couple of quick things you want should include.
