Wow...this
is a fantastic post by matociquala about the importance of setting and
voice in writing. She also goes after the problem of mistaking
fashionable writing for good writing.
And while I'm rec'ing a post on setting, let me complain about the book I was reading set during the Puritan Commonwealth where the widow of a Cavalier goes through the stages of full Victorian mourning. Yes, my dear, of course that happened in the 17th century. Just like brides have always worn white... *sigh*
