did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY

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).

It's less textbooky and more popular writing, but also of interest may be this book: Last Breath by Peter Stark (the original subtitle was "Cautionary Tales from the Limits of Human Endurance," which I think is far more descriptive than "The Limits of Adventure").

Along with factual information, each chapter features an imaginary character who is facing the hazard in question—hypothermia, heatstroke, drowning, dehydration, etc—to illustrate what it's like to experience it. And some of these characters survive! But more of them Do Not.

The first chapter (also about freezing to death! though the character manages to get found, get warmed back up, and survive) was originally published as a piece in Outdoor magazine, so you can read it to get an idea of whether you would like the book:

The Cold, Hard Facts of Freezing to Death

used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.
