Hello everyone,,
So I'm writing about mermaids (don't ask me why, I really couldn't tell you) and most of the feedback I've gotten so far about my underwater city is that it's not feeling like an underwater city.
My group seem to think that any reference to furniture or food (that's not floating around aimlessly) just makes it feel like being on land. But there's only so much I can think to do with bedrock and anemones and corals and shellfish and kelp before it all starts to sound the same.
I've been finding it hard to find the balance. I want them to have chairs and beds and be able to talk about having a sit down dinner, but I also want it to feel underwater without getting silly.
Bear in mind this is a YA novel, not epic fantasy, and most of the book takes place on land - I'm just desperate for ideas of how to add a little colour to the descriptions.
Anyone have any ideas?
