- Develop characters and worlds
- Create rules for worlds
- Avoid White Room Syndrome!
- Interact with settings, don't just describe
- What's wrong with your setting? What's weird or out of place?
- Change the weather (pathetic fallacy?)
- Describe things - one of which is not from our (the author's / reader's) world
- Use all five senses (smell and sound are big ones)
- How clean, dirty, tidy, or cluttered is the room?
- Would you walk barefoot in these streets?
- Can you see the sunset on the horizon from where you are (or do you have to get out of the forest, or go up on the rooftop of a skyscraper)?
