Setting is one of the most important parts of storytelling. It is a character that shapes everyone around it. This couldn’t be more true in Hominids. Early in development it was vital to understand this world. Creating a size comparison helped set the stage for each scene and grasp where everything takes place.
When we think of Neanderthals, we tend to think of the Ice Age. It was important for me to create a world that didn’t exactly fit into the history we know now. A forest that springs for the ocean, trees larger than the Empire State Building, and a mountain nowhere on our current landscape.
As a reader, this will hopefully give you a better insight of this almost alien landscape.
I’m curious to know if you’d like comments on typos and selling errors. If you plan on collecting all the pages together into a print version, it’s good to be professional with correct spelling. Please let me know if you are. If not, I won’t mention any later.
On this page under the description of the setting, in the last sentence, it should read “…better insight” rather than “…better incite”.
I prefer comments on typos. Without an editor, I rely pretty much exclusively on my readers, so I appreciate all the feedback.
