This month, I’ll be writing about creating and developing settings in your novel. I’m writing a post on how to develop a home base for your protagonist, so I’m asking: what is your favorite literary home? I’m torn between 221 Baker Street, a hobbit hole in the Shire, and the alpaca farm in Ohio where my teen detective Rae Riley lives with her father, grandmother, and brothers. If you could make a home in any book, where would it be?
If you need inspiration, here are writing prompts for settings.
Ooh, what a fun question! I could totally live in Rae’s family’s home too! Not sure the Berenstain Bears count as literary, but I’ve always thought their tree house was one of the coolest homes, and I’d also like the Swiss Family Robinson’s house.
I could totally move into the Berenstain Bears’ treehouse!
