In novels, sometimes the forest is just\ntrees, a source of wood, a hiding place for bandits, but we never see more details\nthan the generic trees. What sort of forests do your characters live in? One\nfull of different trees, or cardboard cut outs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/cindytomamichel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WB-forests.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cindytomamichel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WB-forests.jpg 622w, https:\/\/cindytomamichel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WB-forests-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on the story. For instance in Pride and Prejudice,\nthe characters are first and foremost, so strolling through a \u201cprettyish kind\nof a little wilderness\u2019\u2019 is enough. The reader is focused on Lady Catherine and\nhow awful she is, not what sort of tree she is sneering at. But even so, this\nformed a place of seclusion, privacy needed for both to show their true\ncolours. Would Elizabeth been so outspoken with her mother in the room? Lady\nCatherine was impervious to her surroundings, speaking her mind equally in\nparlour and shrubbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as a setting, forests have a lot going for them. The mood of a forest can be powerful, with bright sunshine vs a storm. In Clan of the Cave Bear, Ayla is orphaned by an earthquake, hiding in forests, hunting for foods as a terrified little girl. How different is it when she is older, a mature woman with a knowledge of herbs? In \u2018The Cave Children\u2019 by A.Th. Sonnleitner, the forest danger is intensified by a storm, and becoming orphaned in the wilderness after fleeing the village. Disaster heaped upon danger and despair, hunger and discomfort. Nothing is comfortable, and the future looks grim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forests can hide a number of people &#8211; hermits, religious and helpful, or insane and dangerous, or isolated healers. In Morrinmoss, Thomas Covenant was saved by a forest healer, where she sacrificed herself for him. To get to her&nbsp; when he did not know he searched for her, he endured a period of madness enhanced by poison, hunger and injury. The hanging moist moss in the trees stained his white robes, a symbol of his descent into madness and death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the forests themselves can be the character. Dryads and\nsatyrs of myth, dancing their wild dances under the moon in green glades hidden\nfrom the sight of men. Ents and the missing Ent wives, the force of domesticity\nwarring with the return to the wild. Anyone with magic of the earth and land\nmay be able to see and manipulate the forest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a lot of research into the forest ecosystem, as even a bog standard forest varies. The forest contains multiple micro ecosystems dependent on climate, landscapes, slope, moisture, soil type and history. The mass of fungal mycelium network that links trees and soils and fungi, and the communications between plants via plant hormones and wind. All these things are real, so it is not too much of a stretch to think of a forest as sentient. Long years of hatred towards men with axes &#8211; think of Mirkwood in Middle Earth and the sentient forests of Stephen Donaldson. What reception would people have in there, and at what risk do they enter? What will they sacrifice to leave? What evil creatures have made a life within the trees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Rosemary Sutcliffe \u2018The Frontier Wolf\u2019 she uses the boggy forest and swamps as a powerful part of a land that is part of local celtic mythology. Passing through a sacred area is possible, yet there will be a price to pay with the death of one of their number. This was also used by Stephen Donaldson again in the forest of Garroting Deep (a giveaway of danger right there!) when the sentient and angry forest took a life to pay for safe passage. Nicholas Eames in Kings of the Wyld has extended this concept of an antagonistic forest to a huge area full of monsters, terrible creatures, dangerous trees\/bogs\/insects that can only be travelled well weaponed and skilled. Even then the memories of death stay with travellers.&nbsp;In Midworld, Alan Dean Foster had seven different levels of Hell forest, all different depending on sunlight. Each with their own dangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So fill your forests with variety. Don\u2019t just have a cardboard forest, pack it with fungi, moss, bushes, grass &#8211; and see what is hiding in the shadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Enjoy this\nblog?
