Story Setting Word Web
A story setting word web gives a writer a quick bank of connected details before drafting. Put the setting in the centre, then branch into place, time, mood and senses. Place names the physical location, while time introduces season or hour. Mood provides the emotional direction of the scene. Sensory words such as rain, metal and a train whistle make the setting specific enough to write from. The web does not prescribe a plot; it simply collects the language that makes a location feel real. It works especially well for students who need a prompt before beginning a descriptive paragraph.
Open it in the AI editor with a prompt pre-filled — keep what works, change what doesn't.
