Well, you're really on a role now with your story. But where is it going to happen, or take place? The place your story happens is called the setting. read the description below about what setting actually is.
Setting is very important. Even a child can tell you where "Little Red Riding Hood's" story takes place. It was in the woods on her way to Grandmothers house. The setting of a story tells you the time and the place. Stop and think about the television series "Star Trek", where did it take place? Your answer should be in the future, in outer space, traveling throughout the galaxies. Think about movies like "Gone With The Wind" it took place somewhere in the south during the civil war, and what about "Gunsmoke" television series. We all know that this was during a time of development of the early west, during the eighteen hundreds. So when you think about your stories setting, you must decide where it will happen. In the city, country, forest, a foreign country. Setting is crucial for any story in order to be believable. Your reader must be able to identify with the setting of where the story happens, unless it happens in outer space, if you are writing a fantasy, then readers know anything unbelievable could, and most definitely will, happen. So, your setting must be centered either in the present, past, or future . Once you have picked your setting, then you must research where it will happen, and describe it so well that your readers can picture it vividly in their minds, as if they were really there with your characters. Then you will be writing like a real writer!
