Stuck on a setting? Why not take this technique for a spin right now…

This is Just One of the Many Writing Exercises in this Guide:

Let’s suppose your protagonist lives in a run-down apartment:

• First, draw up a quick floor plan of your setting so you know the rooms. (It doesn’t have to be a perfect blueprint, just enough to orient yourself, room to room. Study it for a few moments.)


• Now take out a voice recorder. (I’ll point out that every Smartphone has a voice recorder app, too.)


• Now sit or lie down by yourself and close your eyes.


• Now simply go for a ride. Narrate your imaginary journey, describing every detail and facet of the rooms and atmosphere during your trip.

By using the recorder, you don’t have to worry about remembering all your ideas or having to type faster than you can think. Just follow your imagination and let it flow. Then listen to it afterwards and type up the details at an easy pace.

All of a sudden, you’ll know everything about your hero’s environment: from the lighting and the sounds to the furniture and the debris.

You can go back into your layout and fill in the details and even chart your character’s movements within the scene. You can even redesign the floor plan altogether. It’s your world.

And this technique works for any setting, inside or outside, whether brutally realistic or wildly fantastic. Anything from ordinary offices to luxurious palaces, and from enchanted forests to the decks of a wayward spaceship. It’s that simple.

Write, Revise, Rejoice! will guide your idea from start to finish with you controlling the shots, helping you tell your story, your way - plus much more!
