The story setting is where and when the action takes place. Describing the setting helps the reader to imagine the setting the character is in. It paints a clearer picture for the reader. It can also create a mood. For example, "It was a dark and stormy night..." gives you the feeling that something scary or creepy is going to happen. Other than the weather you can also describe the time period. For example if you're writing about a character in the prehistoric era we would envision nature everywhere instead of buildings. Other than that you can also describe a location. Like maybe this story takes place in the US.
Tips:
- Maybe use things you sense. Describe what the character sees, hears, smells, touches, and tastes.
- Don't make it too difficult.
