This is really making me antsy, it always does. Setting. Not just basic setting, I can do that, what is stressing me out is the setting for a city. This next book, I want a setting for a big, dirty, dangerous city. But I feel wierd writing about big cities in Texas where I live.
Plus, you know when writing about Texas it gives of an image that doesn't look in the least, dirty or dangerous. In fact, a writing friend of mine in England keeps calling me a hick, I know he's teazing, but that's just the image he gets from here.
My city in this story should give a certain image, like New York, but I've never been to New York. Second closest: Los Angeles. The only time I've been there was going to Disney Land when I was five, I don't remember anything. So, what do I do? Do I just give a name of a fictional city, add some detail but be sure not to give out what state? I'm really stuck on this. Any ideas?
