Yesterday I added a new chapter to my second draft of my WIP. It was a spur of the moment, last minute but needed addition. I felt that it added another layer to the world I am building and aided with the tension and suspense of the subsequent chapter. As I was writing it, however, I noticed that the atmosphere had suddenly changed to become really autumnal. Considering most of my story is set in summer, I had no idea where these Autumn vibes had come from, but then I realised- I think I write whatever season I am currently in. I wrote my first draft throughout the summer months and descriptions of honeysuckle scents, fluttering butterflies and the intense, unrelenting heat of the sun are inherent throughout the story, but as soon as I started writing yesterday, with the September sun shining upon me, the story began to take on tones of shining gold hues, hay and pumpkins. It’s funny, I have never noticed it before. Do you write with the seasons? Comment down below.
