#WritingWonders Day 6/16 - What was your process of creating this setting and make it realistic?
Most of my locations exist within a few hours drive of home, so I know them well.
I'll study information about the layout and construction of settlements, place names and aspects of everyday life as they were in the 5th century,
I'll research native plant species and wildlife, in order for them to earn a place in my descriptions.
I also owe a debt of gratitude to those who explore the wilds with a camera every weekend and upload their journeys on to YouTube.
I realise now that I use research rather than plotting to provide the framework for my writing. Many of the ideas for TBOTB 2 have developed in this way.
