Crafting settings that work for readers

Mary Buckham offers an excerpt from her book A Writer's Guide to Active Setting: "If the character is returning to a place that hasn’t been described in depth previously, the reader will not be as open to a slower pacing on the revisit so you can describe setting. The reader has most likely created her own visuals, because a reader needs to see the characters in some context. This is a small but important point, and an error many new writers make."
