Anonymous asked: What are your thoughts on setting a story in a real place vs. an entirely made up place? I'm just having trouble finding the right town/right school for my character. Do you have any advice on how to go about inventing a place, like how to make it realistic? Thanks in advance!
Personally, I make up towns and places based on real places for realistic fiction. But when I start getting into fantasy, I notice more often than not a special world that YOU created usually packs more of a punch. I’ve written 2 articles here that will help you immensely, if you scroll through and find them: “Research is Your Best Friend” and “A Whole New World!” In the articles, there a re a few links to other sites that will help you. I’d post links here but it doesn’t seem to want to let me. If you have any more questions after that, then feel free to ask again :)
