This photo shows the position of the sun every twenty minutes on the shortest day of the year in 1935 overlooking the snow-covered houses of Fairbanks, Alaska. John Coulson Percy Skottowe, an employee of the news photo service World Wide Photos, took 11 exposures of the sun from 9:52am until it disappeared at 2:04pm. The eerie double sun was caused by atmospheric conditions. J.C.P. Skottowe/Times Wide World Photos. “The Shortest Day of the Year in the Far North.” December 22, 1935.

I don’t realize until winter’s over how much I missed the light on the leaves. Sound on if you like birdsong.

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

Are there any other particularly egregious examples?

This book already exists, sort of! Or at least, it’s a biology textbook but I bought it for writing purposes:

It starts with a chapter about freezing to death, and it is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of horror fiction).
