In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in storytelling — time and setting. Whether it’s a bustling city in the present day, a quiet village in the 1800s, or a distant planet centuries in the future, when and where your story takes place shapes everything from your characters’ motivations to the tone and pacing of your plot.We’ll explore how time and setting work together to create atmosphere, reveal character, and ground readers in your story’s world.
