Optional discussion Prompt: Atmosphere

Some writers are very good at projecting a certain atmosphere into their projects. You feel a sense of creepiness, despair, hope, fear, love, nostalgia, in every word. It’s hard to describe but unmistakable when it’s present.

How are you at developing atmosphere? Do you think about it, or just let it come naturally?
