But the audience’s fascination will only last if the writer can describe this vibrant realm and its inhabitants well. The setting achieves this by offering readers a unique sensory experience. So much more than stage dressing, the setting can build mood, convey meaning through symbolism, drive the plot by creating challenges that force the hero to fight for what he wants, and trigger his emotions to reveal his most intimate feelings, fears, and desires. Inside The Rural Setting Thesaurus, you’ll find: • A list of the sights, smells, tastes, textures, and sounds for over 100 settings revolving around school, home, and nature • Possible sources of conflict for each location to help you brainstorm ways to naturally complicate matters for your characters • Advice on the many effective ways to build mood, helping you steer both the character’s and readers’ emotions in every scene • Information on how the setting directly influences the plot by acting as a tuning fork for what a character needs most and by testing his dedication to his goals • A tutorial on figurative language and how different descriptive techniques can bring settings alive for readers while conveying a symbolic message or deeper meaning • A review of the challenges that arise when writing description, as well as special considerations that apply specifically to rural and personal settings The Rural Setting Thesaurus takes “show-don’t-tell” to new heights. It offers writers a roadmap to creating fresh setting imagery that impacts the story on multiple levels while keeping readers engaged from the first page to the last. Review: Excellent Reference for Every Author -- Includes Inspiration! - Here's why I love this book -- and it's sister the Urban Setting Thesaurus: in addition to having the usual information about a setting to involve all the senses -- Sights, Sounds, Smells, Tastes, Textures and Sensations -- this book also includes inspiration. The section within each entry titled Possible Sources of Conflict is very helpful for brainstorming or idea-generation. So while I can use the assistance with remembering what my last cruise was like in all the visceral ways (who takes notes on vacation? not me!), reading through the additional, writer-related sections has my muse working overtime. In addition to that, the Setting Description Example really makes me want to write setting THAT well; it helps form a goal for me by showing me how it can be done. I highly recommend this book for everyone writing in every genre because even fantasy and science fiction have familiar settings. Review: Amazing book for describing settings - The thesauruses in this series are auto buys for me since I read The Emotional Thesaurus. I like having the physical book as opposed to the kindle version. It's much easier to flip through. Setting has always been a struggle for me in my writing and this provides great ideas about how to paint a picture of where the action is talking place. On the rare occasion I am looking for a place not specifically listed in the books, there is something similar enough to give me a solid place to start from. I read this cover to cover when I got it. The books are so interesting and have such great information. I refer to it frequently when editing. I like that it was broken up into urban and rural or the book with be a bit unwieldy. Definitely get the companion book Urban Settings Thesaurus. You'll be all set to describe any location. I also highly recommend all the books in the series. Five stars only because I can't give it more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #156,425 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #36 in Words & Language Reference #48 in Fiction Writing Reference (Kindle Store) #53 in Writing Skill Reference (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Rural Setting Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Personal and Natural Places (Writers Helping Writers Series Book 4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91mdOkei7nL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Reference for Every Author -- Includes Inspiration! *by L***E on June 17, 2016* Here's why I love this book -- and it's sister the Urban Setting Thesaurus: in addition to having the usual information about a setting to involve all the senses -- Sights, Sounds, Smells, Tastes, Textures and Sensations -- this book also includes inspiration.

I have various reasons for reading this type of book. One of these days, I'll finish writing a book or as my wife says, she'll publish it after I pass on. At my current writing pace, it's going to be about 9,000 pages before I finish it. Just kidding around. This book is a good, educating and entertaining read. The only complaint I have isn't really a complaint, but I've mentioned it on other Kindle books. I just think the flow of this book and many others in this field, break their flow, my reading flow, with the plugging of their other books. I normally would take a star off, but this one isn't too bad for it. If I could share an old business tip it's don't distract your viewing audience's attention to anything besides whatever you got their attention with in the first place. It's kind of frustrating to be reading along only to see "To see how to do this, see my book "(name)". That would require me to stop reading your book. Still, overall, this is a good book with lots of things in it to learn. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/103890689-the-rural-setting-thesaurus-a-writers-guide-to-personal-natural](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/103890689-the-rural-setting-thesaurus-a-writers-guide-to-personal-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
