And&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;not just about&nbsp;place and time,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;all the other stuff like culture, traditions, politics, norms (the list goes on). This seems like a logical point when you spell it&nbsp;out,&nbsp;but I&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;know that&nbsp;I\u2019d&nbsp;been thinking of it this way&nbsp;(especially when&nbsp;coming up with&nbsp;ideas, as&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;a plot-first kind of writer).&nbsp;Prior to the course,&nbsp;I\u2019d&nbsp;been writing speculative and fantasy stories which, by nature, require a lot of consideration for world building.&nbsp;But&nbsp;now that&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;writing a psychological thriller set in our world,&nbsp;I thought the setting side of things would need less attention. Not so!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working through our weekly tasks,&nbsp;I\u2019ve&nbsp;realised that while&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;making&nbsp;<em>some&nbsp;<\/em>use of my coastal setting,&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;not yet pushing it&nbsp;to its full potential. Is it atmospheric?&nbsp;Yes \u2013 I&nbsp;like to&nbsp;think so.&nbsp;Is my character&nbsp;a&nbsp;product of the setting?&nbsp;Yes, but I have some work to do on bringing this to the fore. Is the setting serving the story as effectively as it could? Not yet.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;here that I need to knuckle down and lean into to what&nbsp;should be a&nbsp;really&nbsp;evocative setting. I mean,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;got the SEA,&nbsp;right? One of the most powerful, expansive natural forces on earth.&nbsp;I\u2019d&nbsp;be silly not to use it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week&nbsp;during our tutor group workshop, we&nbsp;gave live feedback on each other\u2019s&nbsp;works in progress. While&nbsp;we\u2019ve&nbsp;done this on the forum (in writing),&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;the first time&nbsp;we\u2019ve&nbsp;read our work&nbsp;aloud&nbsp;and received feedback&nbsp;\u2018in the moment\u2019.&nbsp;This is the sort of thing that would usually fill me with nerves and while I&nbsp;definitely stumbled&nbsp;over&nbsp;words when&nbsp;reading&nbsp;aloud (even though it was my own writing),&nbsp;I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;mind! Everyone in the group is so&nbsp;supportive \u2013 it feels like a safe space to get honest&nbsp;and constructive input.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;such a boost to hear other writers enjoying your work&nbsp;and so useful when they spot things that you&nbsp;haven\u2019t.&nbsp;I also&nbsp;love hearing everyone else\u2019s&nbsp;excerpts&nbsp;\u2013 not just because&nbsp;they\u2019re&nbsp;interesting stories,&nbsp;but&nbsp;because we all approach description differently and&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;what makes reading so enjoyable!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, not a part of the course exactly, but I was&nbsp;very fortunate&nbsp;to attend&nbsp;Jericho&#8217;s&nbsp;London&nbsp;Festival of Writing last weekend (honestly probably my favourite writing event ever!).&nbsp;What was especially fun was meeting members of my tutor group in person and&nbsp;chatting with other course students and alumni.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;such a lovely and supportive community&nbsp;and&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;so grateful to be a part of it. There\u2019s&nbsp;just&nbsp;that instant understanding when you meet&nbsp;other writers. They get it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week,&nbsp;I\u2019ve&nbsp;had my second round of feedback from&nbsp;my tutor,&nbsp;Holly.&nbsp;I mentioned in the previous month about a \u2018whacky\u2019 idea&nbsp;I\u2019d&nbsp;had and how without Holly\u2019s&nbsp;encouragement,&nbsp;I\u2019d&nbsp;have been too afraid to implement it. Well, I tried it&nbsp;out&nbsp;and the feedback was great (hurray!).&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;really boosted my confidence to take risks and play&nbsp;with the manuscript more. I love twisty and surprising stories, so why can\u2019t I have a go at writing one? Turns out \u2013 I can!&nbsp;I&nbsp;wouldn\u2019t&nbsp;have done this without Holly\u2019s guidance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, my key takeaway from this month&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use setting&nbsp;<strong>purposefully<\/strong>. Settings should serve the story and there are a whole host of ways they can do this; creating obstacles for the character, developing&nbsp;tension, reflecting mood etc. If like me, you&nbsp;have a tendency to&nbsp;focus on plot and&nbsp;let setting fall by the wayside \u2013 this is your call to action. Think about how you can make setting work best for you&nbsp;and be specific in it.&nbsp;We\u2019re&nbsp;not talking reams of exposition but targeted, choice references that ground the reader and build trust. And, most importantly, have some fun with it&nbsp;and&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;be afraid to take a risk!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to follow in Rachel&#8217;s footsteps?
