It's that time of year where the seasons are changing and the weather can be unpredictable, even savage. And weather has a huge effect on us both in terms of our moods and emotions as well as the activities we might do.
This month's prompt is to write a scene that happens outdoors and to then re-write the same scene, but set in a different season with completely different weather. Think about how the weather conditions change the character's outlook on the events happening around them, and how their actions might be dictated by the weather.
For example, in one of my books there is a scene where my POV character goes out in a blizzard to get wood for the fire and winds up nearly freezing to death when he slips on ice and sprains an ankle and can't get anyone's attention because of the noise of the wind.
If I was to rewrite the same scene, but set in the summer, it would be either a very different scene entirely, or I'd need to find a new way to create danger for my MC so he has the same level of fear for his life - and the people depending on him - that he has in the existing scene.
Post your scenes in the comments so we can all see them.
I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Happy writing!
