“Place in fiction is the named, identified, concrete, exact and exacting, and therefore credible, gathering spot of all that has been felt, is about to be experienced, in the novel’s progress. Every story would be another story, and unrecognizable as art, if it took up its characters and plot and happened somewhere else.”
So very true. But this even happens with rewrites. Extensive rewrites can end up making a WIP unrecognizable. Great quote!

It is a challenge to fine-tune a ms and keep it fresh. But that’s the beauty and challenge of writing.
