Setting - Your Examples

We've been looking at several examples of well-written setting bits. We've looked across the writing spectrum at literary and commercial prose. We've talked about why these pieces work and how certain effects are achieved.

And now we're going to talk about your stories.

If you've been following this blog for a while, you know that we periodically open things up and ask for you to send in short examples of your work. We post those examples here (anonymously, if you prefer) and talk about what we see, what works, and how we might edit them.

Now we're going to do that with settings. Send an excerpt of no more than 150 words to edittorrent at gmail dot com if you would like me to analyze your work. Make sure this excerpt has something to do with setting because that's what we're focused on right now. If you don't expressly say you want us to identify you as the author, then it will be posted as an anonymous submission.

If you have questions about how this works, post them in the comments.
