Quality vs. Quantity. Think about what the PURPOSE of your scenery is, and try to just write enough to fulfill that purpose.

Scenery is supposed to "set the stage" for your character and for your readers, so don't be afraid to intermingle scenery with what your character sees or is going to see, and how the scenery affects the senses of the characters involved in order to "set the mood." If you are not writing a scene that directly has or involves a character, maybe try to write the scenery in a way that hints the reader is supposed to experience it themselves.

Mention that the sunlight blinds your character, and there's not a cloud in sight to keep the light in check. Whispering winds send shivers through leaves and spines alike. Sunsets that bleed shadows over the vicinity, which brings an unnatural silence and a herald of danger to all who stand in its path. Beams of light from the rising sun that chase the shadows away, instilling a sense of peace to those who bear witness. Things like that, ya know?

It will definitely take practice to master the "quality vs. quantity" balance. Again, just try to figure out what the purpose of your scenery is, and how it is supposed to directly affect the mood, the characters, and the overall plot and point of your prose.

How do I better integrate scenery into my prose?

When writing it never seems to come naturally to me to write about the character's surroundings, unless the character is directly interacting with/reacting to them.

When I do focus on scenery I seem to focus on it to an excess. It becomes the primary character in its own right.

How do I become more natural at integrate scenery into my prose writing?

EVENT PROMPT:

Did you know there are different types of love? Share a scenario when your character experienced one of the following:

🤍 Eros- [EH-rows]: The romantic love shared between lovers. It is passionate, sensual, and attractive on both a physical and mental level. The word "erotic" is derived from the word "eros."

🤍 Philia- [FEE-lee-uh]: The ancient Greek word for "affection," and the chosen love of friendship. Philia is the love shared between friends. It is comforting, familiar and has a different degree of intimacy than the Eros form of love.

🤍 Storge- [STOR-ghay]: The love that a parent or guardian has for their child/children. Storge love is described as the most natural form of love. It is safe, nurturing, and familial.

🤍 Agapē- [ah-GAH-pee]: A benevolent love and desire for good will towards another. It is often described as the type of love a god has for their creation, and the love a person has for nature or those less fortunate. It is a protective love that does not depend on filiation in order to be shown. It upholds the "Love thy neighbor" morals.

🤍 Lost Love: All things must come to an end. Has your character ever tragically lost a lover?

🤍 The one that got away: Did your character have a love interest that simply did not work out? Was your character the one that got away?
