Sometimes because of the type of story you are writing, you can place description upfront. Copy Atwood‘s technique and describe the setting as well. So much so that your reader feels as though he or she is a part of the place…

W.P. # 180 Follow Atwood. Begin your scene with a description of room where the story takes occurs.
