Winter Woes
Every writer needs a little inspiration once in a while. For today’s prompt, your character is not happy with the cold weather.
Winter time can be marked by some very pleasant experiences—the peaceful silence during a fresh snowfall, hot chocolate and snowball fights, snowmen appearing in yards, and warm nights spent bundled on the sofa.
But there are also head colds, early mornings scraping ice off of cars, slippery roads, and wet carpets after your dog comes barreling in from rolling in the snow pile outside (or is that just my house?).
For today's prompt, your character is not happy with the cold weather.
