9/8 What do you pay attention to when describing your characters' surroundings?
Light. Sound. Plants and Animals. While these aren’t universally true, they seem important. Sometimes it’s architecture, people, or geography.
In a few cases, I go so far as to put a detailed map in my notes to assure consistency and clarity.
For horror, it seems like darkness is an active agency. Lurking. Grabbing. Touching. The chaos of the unknown.
