For myself, I usually have a general idea and a direction I wish to take the fic, such as overall goals and what I want to show the readers. I rarely, if ever, have anything set in stone.

Next, I develop characters - heroes, villains, and those in between. You may have to invent colloquialisms for your characters and even some of your locations to flesh them out, though this isn't always necessary. However, it is best to know as much about them as possible. Basically, make the characters, the areas, the atmosphere your own.

As not much more is actually known outside the above suggestions I offered, you have kind of a free hand to develop Morley and any areas contained within as you fit. However, be aware that information can spring up from almost any source (there are two more upcoming novels), so if you wish to adhere to canon as close as possible be prepared (and able) to retcon as needed.
