I gave myself 3 days to work on the setting on this novel. That might be too much, as I think the Novel Writing Made Easy book does it to the point of overkill.
Explain how your story suggests a particular setting:
At some point they probably need to go to where they plan on storing nuclear waste, because that is a very stable piece of land. Tearlach will probably want to put his eternal nest there.
They will probably visit a military site where nuclear weapons are stored as Tearlach wants to prevent them from being used.
Other than that, the dragon can move around. The character just needs to live somewhere he can get injured, which is pretty much anywhere.
Explain how your characters suggest a particular setting:
Er...? They'll probably be based in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, or Madison simply because I am familiar with those cities.
There's a couple more questions, but they are a waste of time until I know what the scenes are and where things will happen! I honestly believe this isn't a good way of doing things, to try to figure out the setting and then figuring out the scenes. I figure I should do them at the same time! May the light protect me!

Maybe it's time to figure out how big a part the nuclear plant will play. Maybe it's close to your fictional city? Perhaps Steve works there? Maybe there's where he has his accident?
How big a part will the Rules of Magic play with the setting? Does the setting need to be whacked-out ordinary to make the magic stand out?
Can the Nuclear power plant and the Magic work off each other in your setting?
... just some 5am ideas ... ;)
"May the light protect me!"
light ...?
"light....?"
Been reading too much of the wheel of time. ;)
Great ideas. I'm essentially going to do that, but it'll take me a few days as I work out the scenes.
