I'm in the middle of a scene that takes place at a pond. I just realized the only thing the reader knows about the setting is: (1) the water is cold (2) it's a hot summer day.
How do you create a setting without the setting become a monologue or "stuck in there" just for the sake of getting setting in? Any techniques or thoughts on setting?
