I've recently been working on an outline for a new novel and basically I have the plot down but was wondering, how important is the setting/time era?
The reason I ask is because I'm writing a different take on an old legend but am debating whether it should be during the Regency era or earlier. Even though I know contemporary novels are more popular right now, I still rather do what I want and have the setting in the past. Just don't know how far back to have the setting.
And now I'm rambling, lol sorry it's late. I guess what I'm trying to ask is which "historical novels" is more appealing to young adults? Or is it all the same, in the past. I'm partial to the Regency period myself but that's because I dream of days when I could have been the toast of the ton and capture a duke.
And if I still don't make any sense to you I'm very very sorry (hands out candy)
