The time has come to make a decision about my WIP, actually about two of my WIP, do I set them in real towns or not? VZ could possibly take place in a town I know however since the airport is a character in the book I think that might be a bit dangerous. I think it might be better to make it more of a composite but I don't know.
The other book that still has no title could take place here in San Jose. That might not be a bad thing. I have to set it in at least a region I know because the topic matter is very regional...so it needs to be Bay Area but I could also make up a town that is based on this area.
A friend told me that her writer's group had discussed the idea of whether or not to use real places and their general consensus was if you were going to write about a small town, it's best to make up the name. If a large city, it's best to use a real one with landmarks people can identify with.
I think there are advantages to both. I'm just not sure what the right answer is for these two stories.
How do you make the decision about whether or not to use real places in your story?![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
kellyrfineman for pointing out that dotificus had just last week posted about this very thing. There's some good conversations about setting over here. thanks, Kelly.
Love Richard Scarry. Poor Nicky's outta luck...
