What Could Be Better Than a Book About Weather?
I ask what could be better than a book about weather, but I know the answer–to me, anyway: nothing.
What is Solar Weather?
The sun can play a part in writing, not only as an obvious source of light, but also as a literary device all its own
On Temperature & Emotion
The emotions drummed up by your characters would also be the emotions that you feel when you are in that situation.
On Precipitation & Emotion
There are many forms of precipitation–from snow to rain to ice crystals and more–and therefore many ways a writer can use it for emotion.
Alien Weather
Alien weather is something I think about quite frequently, not only because it plays into my own writing, but because it’s just neat.
On Thunderstorms & Emotion
The way nature uses thunderstorms to restore balance to an unstable atmosphere is akin to the way a plot is intended to resolve a conflict.
On Fog & Emotion
Like the cat of Carl Sandburg’s poem, fog does not announce itself very well. So how can we use this stealthy behavior as a writing tool?
A Little Experiment with Weather & Emotions
Earlier this year, I did a little study about weather and emotions. Here are some thoughts on what I found.
The Thunderstorm Story Model
I’ve always loved the dynamics behind thunderstorms and recently, I’ve been seeing parallels to the standard plot curve many writers have been taught.
On Wind & Emotion
Just like clouds and emotion go hand-in-hand (with respect to literature, anyway), so does wind and emotion.
