Cold Weather

Daily writing prompt
How do you feel about cold weather?

As a poodle, I am not fond of cold weather per say. Neither is my novelist. However, she did write a novella that is set in the Colorado mountains that takes place during a blizzard called Chicane. When she writes novels she likes to consider how easily the story can be lifted from the novel and made to be cinematic. In other words, she considers how easily the story could transfer to film and therefore she often chooses to write stories which are visceral and dialogue driven. Many excellent films have taken place in the snow such as Fargo, Dr. Zhivago, A Simple Plan, The Shining, The Frozen Ground, It’s a Wonderful Life and recently The Holdovers. Also a small film called Blackway with Anthony Hopkins and Julia Stiles is an interesting little story that takes place in the dreary, somewhat snowy Pacific Northwest. Snow is excellent for setting.
