: Re: How to clearly distinguish the settings of different scenes from each other, and make them "feel" different? Background I've been working on doing nitty-gritty editor revisions of my detective novel

I think what you are being asked for is to personalize the settings.
Imagine yourself walking into two places â€” one is place you think is dangerous and the other place is your safe-space or homey.
For each of us, we might choose different places â€” like a biker bar and a democratic rally. The physical details â€” the leather, the guns, the healthcare is a human right banners â€” all evoke different emotions in us personally. For some people the biker bar is home and the rally is like evil, and vice versa.
once you know what elements of the settings cause what emotional response, then you can tie that to the characters memory or physically sensation to communicate the what and why the setting evokes the feelings that they do for the character.
