Title: Atmosphere

When you are writing, do you work on atmosphere specifically or through the reactions of characters and the way that things behave/events occur in the story?

To add to the question, is it something that you have the idea of, or is it more that the atmosphere of a story is discovered/created unconsciously along the way?

Can you explain the question a bit further?  I'm not sure I understand.
