Currently my wife is working on writing a fantasy novel, she has been doing it on and off for ~5 years, and just recently (last few months) has really gotten back into it. Now I have given her some help and she has a friend who she can bounce ideas off but she has hit a sorta roadblock with part of the story.
She knows what she wants the characters to be like and do, she also knows how she wants the plot to be like and progress.
The problem exist with her creating a location, she has specific wants for it, and turns out she may need to simply create one from scratch. The problem is she doesn't know exactly a starting off point, or where to research how to create areas such as city/town etc. Does anyone on here have any experience in either creating a setting from scratch or using a preexisting area and do you have any tips?
Also her novel involves the elements so she would need to know at least a tad bit of the vegetation that would exist in the area of her choosing/making. Does anyone have any suggestions related to that endeavorer either?
