Do Your Writing Habits Change During Autumn / Winter?
Now were closing in on Autumn and Winter, I’d be interested to know if your writing habits change during the colder seasons.
My favourite season is Autumn, aside from the endless shovelling up of leaves in our garden, because the colours are just so beautiful. But I love waking up on a cold Winter’s morning, snuggling in my dressing gown and settling down to write at my PC, with a warming cuppa, the curtains closed and my desk lamp on. My habits definitely change, as does my writing.
When I think of Winter, I think murder, mystery and mayhem – is that just me? In the warmer months, I tend to write about holidays, shopping and the like.
I hadn’t really thought about it in depth before I started writing this piece for the blog, but when I hear the wind howling outside and it’s still dark at 8am, I think who would want to be outside, apart from a person up to no good, a robber, murderer, stalker. So, there’s definitely a pattern to what I tend to write.
Please share if your writing habits change with the seasons.
