Today is a very simple exercise that can be done whenever you have time or want to play around on Google. It's also advice that has been said again and again, so this is me just signal boosting the advice. Most don't suggest using Google but this is for us that cannot get to where our setting is.
Take yourself to where you're going to be setting your novel and walk around for a bit. If there's public transportation, take it so you get a feel for how the city runs. If you can't do that, Google the city and see if you can find real person advice via a travel site about the city you want to use. See if there are people on Twitter who might be open to answering your questions about the city they live in. We live in a digital age and we should use it to the best of our ability if we cannot physically get to the setting we want to use.
So that's your exercise for today. Feel free to share your experience in the comments below and have a great day.
