Every story happens somewhere — and that place matters.
Your setting is not just a background. It helps readers understand the feeling of your story. In this design sheet, you will decide where your story happens, who is there, what the place feels like, and how to picture it. Short notes, stickers, choices, and simple ideas are perfect.
