What is easy for some may be difficult for others. The setting is an important component of the story, because the audience's perception of the world depends on it.

Steps

Method 1 of 1: Describing the story setting

1. 1 Describe in detail. But you should not be too meticulous, otherwise you will simply bore your listeners! Make your description detailed enough for better understanding.When describing a scene, use comparisons, personifications, metaphors, and more.
2. 2 Use your senses. Use two or three senses like touch, sight, and smell. Most writers only use sight, but this is a mistake because it makes what is written in two dimensions.
3. 3 Do not describe unnecessary things to anyone, such as the color of the leaves on the tree nearby. Describe the important details that define the scene.
4. 4 Remember: the setting represents time and place. Perhaps the place is even more important than the time, but they both need to be clearly articulated.
5. 5 Shows and tell. Embellish things. Instead of saying, “He's angry,” say, “Sitting at his desk, his jaw clenched. Anger flashed in his eyes when he looked at me. " Embellish often, but sometimes you can do without it. Too much information can be tiresome.
6. 6 Don't beat around the bush. Speak to the point, without going into too much detail or describing things that have nothing to do with the essence or history.

Tips

• Don't write too much about the setting.
• Don't choose a setting for a story just because you think it's appropriate. An ordinary small house may be more appropriate for your story than some extravagant place like a castle.

Warnings

• Write to the point, do not hang around the bush. Start a new topic to make the story more interesting.
