It Depends #2
Hi Folks,
Psychology is a key element in creative writing. Any happening happens somewhere. The location an author chooses, described with enough detail, becomes a place the reader can see and, if done very well, felt. Location description sets an atmosphere and becomes an event within itself. For example, a dark night can be a night with stars, deep shadows, and moon, or inky black like the inside of a cave, or have a soft comforting breeze blowing. Like the mood of a person affects their thinking, the mood and description of a place creates and sharpens perceptions and interactions, setting the stage for what is to come.
