Day 28 | Dressing The Set by Gabrielle Johansen
Pick one of these photos.
Use the scene in the picture as the setting for your tale.
It can be where the story starts or where it ends.
It can be for a portion of it or for the entire story, but make sure to feature the setting significantly.
Give the reader a defined view of the place using all the senses.
Tell us what your characters hear, smell, touch/feel, taste, as well as see in this locale.
Lastly, avoid the info dump! Weave your setting in as you go.
