It sets the mood, mirrors the stages of plot development, enhances themes, and creates tension where before there was none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather can also drive emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of a sad character. Does it help your reader feel her emotion if you describe the sunrise on a clear, perfectly temperate day, or would it set a better mood if there were undulating clouds hanging over the scene like a smothering blanket? Could you use contrast to shine a light on a feeling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this book by Benjamin X. Wretlind, an author, retired U.S. Air Force weather forecaster, and life-long weather nerd, meteorology is broken down as it relates to the fiction writer. It covers a variety of weather elements and ties them to a study conducted to see what emotions are most often brought up in a reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written in a non-scientific way with literary examples and exercises (and a little humor), <em>Creating Atmosphere with Atmosphere: How to Use Weather as a Literary Device<\/em> hopes to be your go-to guide if you&#8217;re looking to use weather in a way that connects emotionally and pulls readers into your world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So write about that cloud, that tornado, that hurricane&#8230;and bring the storm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;text-align: center;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Email\",\"Print\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"big\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"bxwretlind\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Creating%20Atmosphere%20with%20Atmosphere\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-with-right-sidebar.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19100","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6.1 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Creating Atmosphere with Atmosphere - Benjamin X.
