What's Up the Street For Next Week?

Pepper here, and I’ve brought you some glimpses of Autumn in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I hope you enjoy these pictures I took while hiking with my family this weekend, and may you enjoy the beautiful artwork God uses to usher in Autumn.


So, let’s talk about setting.

What setting are you using in your WIP? Why did you choose that setting? How have you made the setting its own character?

What do we have for you this week?

Monday – Plotting With a Pantster ;-) Taking the Hero’s Journey on Pepper’s new WIP.

Tuesday – October 20th was the National Day on Writing and Sherrinda’s here to share a post entitled “Why I Write” (maybe she’ll share some tasty excerpts from her medieval…hint, hint)

Wednesday – Mary Vee adds another thoughtful post from her mentoring series. On Begin Mentored: Our Responsibilities

Thursday – Romantic Suspense 2011 Genesis winner Renee Ann Smith is Casey’s guest today.

Friday – Krista’s back to surprise us with another fun-filled post as only she can write.

    Setting? My current setting is Israel, in the territory of Benjamin. I chose it, cuz, um, it's Biblical fiction and the story HAS TO take place there ;) (prolly a copout - but that's what I'm sticking to LOL). And I'm trying to use the natural landscape to be "barriers" and such between people - if that makes sense. Still working on that part ;)

    My setting is the the open sea and an island where only the banished live.

    PEP, awesome weekend edition!!! ♥ it!

    My setting is contemporary and looks suspiciously like my hometown. But don't tell anyone. ;-)

    Some great new releases. My setting is fictional and it is definitely the third character in my book. It's a fun little town in CA centered in apple country, and it has some secrets as well :)
