#WordWeavers 9/8 What do you pay attention to when describing the surroundings?

Depends on what kind of scene I'm trying to set up. A cozy scene might warrant a description of the crackling fire, the steam curling up from the tea cup, ect. 

I also tend to mention the play of light in the scene. Is it warm, amber sunlight creeping up the walls in the early morning, or is it starlight reflecting in cold still waters? I find that can set the atmosphere well.

 @091f4e87 Ah, light is so important and can set the mood of the scene so well! Your response made me think that I like using the play of light and shadow, e.g. when there is a fire or the sun shines through the trees 😊
