Setting - The Too Often Forgotten Character

from Confessions of a Working Writer Hosted by Matt Hampton

Matt's back! After a week of battling the flu, we continue our series on how to take an idea and work it into a piece of writing. This week Matt explores developing your setting as a character instead of just a couple of data points. What is the history of the place your story is happening in? Is it beautiful? Ugly? Can you trust it? And just how does answering questions like that and treating a place like a person create greater depth in a story?
