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).
This book can be downloaded for free on Researchgate, posted there by the author himself:
Training herding dogs side of tumblr, please explain
It’s called shedding. Sometimes you need to single out some animals from others in the herd for some reason, this lets you do it in a field relatively quickly and with less stress for the animals compare to other methods (like running them all through a chute or a race).
It’s a higher level sheepdog skill, they usually do it in trials too.
originals by Andy Virgil and “nineteenth century sources” pft… back on my painting bs… enjoy ..
