Episode 152 - How the masters create their settings.

Why are some novels so good?  One of the reasons is that the author is a master at setting descriptions.  How did Charlotte Bronte and Edna Ferber make their settings magical?  We'll talk about their techniques here.  Also, strong verbs versus weak verbs: how and why to choose the stronger action word.
