Writing a novel - Setting

Your story needs a framework. The setting must be robust and appropriate for your story. However, it should not overwhelm the story. Sprinkle it as you go. Do not write travel books. If you do research, not as hard as it may be, do not use everything in the book. I have a script in France shortly before the Revolution. It is a big pile of manuscript-pages and pages and pages about all the things that I find fascinating about the search for, what they ate and drank and wore and said and did. My punishment for not more in the selection, which is challenging to use bits that I have to go back and rewrite it, so the description pages. Sigh
Wisdom suggests that we write what we know. This is especially true when choosing your institution. Blockbuster novels tend to be in places like New York. I've never been to New York, I would not make a story, I had to leave, what other writers have said about New York. I think my story would be lower, because part of it by the sight of another writer of the big city is filtered.
So I write a novel set in Paris? Well, I wanted to. And that the story so that no one knows with absolute certainty that the air felt his own life at that time or felt as if a writer writes, should be on the basis of research. However, it took me almost a year to make just to thorough research on everyday life in the 1780s. (Now you know why I wanted to use in this research.) And I can see that darn book has its own record for the quick rejection.
The registration should be good as a wallpaper. It improves the story fits perfectly and does not overwhelm people in the room. When your institution is not of course from your history, you may have a problem. How many people are and what they do depends on their environment. I am writing this thriller set in Prince Edward Iceland. I tried to write in a city, but it did not work, because the whole point of the novel is an island, isolated, sweet aspect of the small town of village life /. It also helps that I grew up there and get to know the island from one end of the way and the people are there.
The setting of a novel can be almost as much influence on the story that be the main character. Consider Stephen King's The Shining and great old hotel alone. Or the creation can be anywhere and everywhere. Mary Higgins Clark books tend to be non-specific parameters, or so it seems. They could be in New England and settled outside of Winnipeg. Both work and work very well. Setting includes over geography. If the time the novel is? How is the weather. What are the specific problems, if any, matter does not resolve the hero?
