My Creative Writing Process: Research and Imagination
With my characters in place, I focus on the world they inhabit. Setting is more than a backdrop—it shapes the story’s mood and moments. I use Pinterest to collect images of cozy cottages, small-town streets, or misty forests, letting these visuals inspire the atmosphere. Vivid details help me create a world readers can truly step into.
