From my years of teaching creative writing, I know that new writers take the setting for granted, as simply a place to set the action, but setting is a vital element in fiction writing and deserves serious treatment.
For me, I think ‘Jem’ fans were expecting a remake of the cartoon, and the movie really is inspired by the cartoon based in a 2015, modern-day setting. It is going to be very different, but it’s also going to be very familiar as well.
You can really help support a character if you understand the setting. So for that reason I generally write about Philadelphia.
Any Arthurian enthusiast who has watched ‘Merlin’ has probably concluded that it’s not accurate whatsoever – but, it’s not meant to be. It’s not meant to be a true telling. It’s in a fantasy setting, it’s really concentrating on the fantasy element.
Real leaders have to live a paradoxical life, where they must break the rules in order to maintain them. If your expectations are high, you’re setting yourself up for disillusionment. The land of governance is paved with gray streets, not black or white ones.
It was rehearsing in the studio, at which point they were setting up the sound, and once we’d got the thing together they’d actually record it, without us knowing sometimes!

Goal setting will never stop. I will continue to work hard and practice hard and see where things go.
It is setting goals and trying to be a business person, but at the same time not losing sight of who you are writing songs for and what your goals are as a songwriter. So believe me, if you think I’ve got it down I don’t it is a constant struggle.
I’m a big believer in respecting the fans. How do I make a science-fiction or fantasy setting relatable? How do you make the characters real?
I think that providing obstructions in the live setting is when you get something that actually means something, as opposed to just aping your way through your greatest hits.
I would love to live in ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ J. R. R. Tolkien’s world is so vivid and rich and sensual. I love the country setting and the routine of the hobbits. Of course, I would like to be a hobbit who goes on small adventures – not huge, horrifying ones like Frodo’s quest.
There’s nothing about Lynn Good at age 30 or age 35 that would have said, ‘I am setting my sights on being a CEO.’
I love the leisurely amplitude, the spaciousness, of taking a walk, of heading somewhere, anywhere, on foot. I love the sheer adventure of it: setting out and taking off.
Everybody has values. Now, you know it may be formed in a secular setting, it may be formed in an intellectual setting, but everybody comes forward with values.
I hate people walking down the street listening to the soundtrack of their lives which responds to them but not their setting. I hate the overspill of sound which metro and subway riders are oblivious to because they notice no one and nothing around them.
Obviously, I love to do both contemporary and historical fiction. When a hint of a story grabs me, I try to go with it to see where it will take me whatever the setting.
What I love about ‘The Chew’ is that we have these celebrities come on, and you get to see them in a different light, cooking or enjoying food, when we usually don’t see them in that setting. So it’s a lot of fun for their fans to see them be normal people and having that commonality of food.
Oftentimes we will get to the rink when the sun comes up and leave when the sun is setting, so on a weekend, I really like to spend at least one day outside and not be stuck indoors all day.
Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
Even if your novel occurs in an unfamiliar setting in which all the customs and surroundings will seem strange to your reader, it’s still better to start with action. The reason for this is simple. If the reader wanted an explanation of milieu, he would read nonfiction. He doesn’t want information. He wants a story.
I think that being in an extreme natural setting, and letting the natural world and what it’s doing permeate your thoughts, is super-interesting and super-important.
I use myself as a template for my comedy. So first my background as a Muslim man, my being a doctor, I talk about my family quite a lot, my kids. Anything that resonates with me I talk about. The important thing is it should be able to work in a family setting.
I mean, I could just go round and use session musicians for every song, but I don’t find that helps when it comes to setting up a band for live. Derrick has been with me for donkey’s years.
I certainly witnessed bullying as a teen in both a small and a big school setting. I feel like it is a universal topic.
I’ve been on shows where they’re just setting it up, and they’re trying to find the tone of the writing and performance. That’s always a really chaotic period on shows.

My effort has been not only to put the Biblical incident in the original setting… but at the same time give the human touch to convey to my public the reverence and elevation these subjects impart to me.
If I’m appearing on ‘Raw,’ then I’m usually there to help sell tickets to something, and that’s when you see the ‘HBK’ Shawn Michaels come out. At panels, I can be more open and honest and show some more humility. They don’t want me talking about my family on TV, but I can in a panel setting.
Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go.
We in the Labour party know better than most that opposition is the easy part. What’s more difficult is governing and setting out an agenda for government.

As I said this year, I didn’t try to put any pressure on me by setting high goals or anything, I just want to make sure that every single time I’m out there on the court I do my best, I give 100%, and see where it’s going to end up next year.
When a place comes across vividly in a novel, it’s often compared to a character. I can remember writing teachers who encouraged me to treat setting as if it were a character, to give it three dimensions, to make it come alive, jump off the page.
You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions. Goal setting is often a matter of balancing timing against available resources. Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions.
I grew up, until age 6, in Chicago. My parents rented their apartment and, at the end of the Depression, my parents wanted to replicate that situation. So, again, we lived in a somewhat suburban setting outside of New York City, and again, they rented.
