I was going to write about getting invited to speak at an event this week where they didn't have the budget to pay me, but could offer lunch and good conversation as an alternative, but, it's Friday night and I'm done with being cranky. *
Instead, how about this...
![Winter sunset, February 6, 2025.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/76b633_24b9e40ae6204bd2b04af96922a53c38~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_649,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/76b633_24b9e40ae6204bd2b04af96922a53c38~mv2.jpg)
That one splash of pink in last night's sunset, coupled with the reflection of the sky on the water? Winter certainly brings its own unique beauty.
Do your writing routines change in winter? Do you brave the elements seeking plot twists in the snow, or cosy up inside with a hot chocolate and your notebook?
And for your Friday Flash Fiction?
You're walking toward the lights of home as gentle flakes begin to fall, but within moments your path is lost in a sudden swirl of snow...
Happy writing!
