The memoir I'm working on takes place in the sixties and seventies so I guess it isn't contemporary fiction either. stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651058317830668643.post-50664572756076967252013-11-19T14:58:48.690-05:002013-11-19T14:58:48.690-05:00I think any non-present setting needs to have a pu...I think any non-present setting needs to have a purpose to it.<br />I also think a good story will work in whatever time period you want to put it in.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651058317830668643.post-62228696691360566242013-11-19T14:45:48.590-05:002013-11-19T14:45:48.590-05:00Doh!
