2012 March Monthly Challenge - Participant's Thread
VI, For 9 does the hospital have to be a major part of the setting or can the characters merely visit someone there? The story "began" in a hospital after an accident and also sped up in a hospital after a second accident. The major action took place elsewhere though? (Am I pushing it?)
Thanks
It has to be a major part of the setting, Nicola. If they spend a *significant* portion of the book in the hospital, then it works for me. Or at least if the visiting person is a major secondary character, then it'll work.
Not really. Just trying to make what I have work. I'll keep looking.
