    My story Luminosity very much does revolve around the setting.
    In fact many of the narrators thoughts are about the differences between her home in an urban city compared to the rural atmosphere.

    Alexander Bernadotte that is very much true, it's those minescule details that make the difference, unless you over use them, such as:
    The clouds were a swirl of Cyrus and they danced there way over the sky being pushed by the wind blowing approx. 20km/p. Smiling I looked down at my 5'4" figure dressed in a faded wash denim matching fabulously with my billowing soft white t-shirt that I had washed just last night with downy extra strength

    Ugh I can't believe I just wrote that crap. You get the point with amateur(n00b) abuse of details.

    Alexander Bernadotte I have to agree with that one. Lack of useless details make soap opras as bad as they are.

    Someone told me that useless details are everything. Literally! And all it really is just useless details; like, who's walking about, what they're doing, what do the trees look like.
    It's a bit similar with the characters too.

    I just pretend I'm in their shoes. If shit starts seeming too easy, then of course I have to do something evil to my character. It's heartbreaking, but must be done.
