The Dundurn Blog
Drone Chase sprang out above all from place: the Great Bear Rainforest, which, according to their website, is “a global treasure that covers 6.4 million hectares (24,711 square miles) on British Columbia’s north and central coast – equivalent in size to Ireland.”
As one of the pillars of a good story, setting deserves as much attention as character and plot, but is often overlooked in favour of hurried references to generic or made-up locations. For me, it is like the setting of a precious gem; the perfect backdrop against which the story unfolds, allowing just the right light, colour, and reflection to make the story come alive. Each scene, as well as the overall story, should be anchored in place so that the reader feels a part of the drama.
