Do the seasons influence your writing?
I live in Scotland, about 100km north of Moscow, Russia, and I get seasonal affective depression *bad*, so of course they affect my writing! But weirdly, I'm often most productive in winter—it's miserable and dark outside, so nothing else to do but write.
(Inside the fiction? The current WIP is a space opera, so seasonality has little to do with it.)
