One piece of feedback that I got on a story I wrote is that my settings feel irrelevant, or that the entire book could have been a phone call. I am not sure how to go about fixing this. The characters, for example, are in an office, or a restaurant, or a different office at various times throughout the story ― but any of these places are interchangeable as my story currently stands. **How can I tie the scenes and dialogue in my story into where the characters are?** Are there techniques that I could use to mention the setting in relation to things that the character say or do, or to make the settings matter more?
