Zechariah 8:5 "And
the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets
thereof."
Some writers start a
project with a character, some with a plot, and others with setting in mind.
Those who start with setting have an advantage in description because it is
important for them that readers get a feel for the place and time they are
writing about.
Setting might not be
crucial for most stories that could take place anywhere and anytime, but the
readers desire some sense of where and when they are as they read. A few
details about season, weather, and surroundings help the story world come
alive.
We don’t need to go on for
pages since too much description tends to be skipped, but setting mixed with
action will keep the reader anchored and interested. Even some nonfiction
benefits from a few setting details.
