When the temperature is low, my emotions are low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this normal? And how do we show the connection between temperature and emotion in our stories?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On June 22, 1990, when I was living in Phoenix and shortly before joining the military, I mowed the lawn. It wasn\u2019t anything special. I went outside, plugged in the 1970s orange lawnmower my dad wouldn\u2019t replace, and went to town on the 0.076 acres that made up the little patch of grass in the backyard. When I was done, I put the lawnmower away, poured myself a glass of sun tea (unsweetened, like a heathen) and then proceeded to do whatever it was an 18-year-old boy with nothing but time on his hands would do when he was between jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, not that, but probably nothing of importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t think there was anything special about that day, until I was plopped in front of my parents\u2019 massive 23-inch television set later that evening. Apparently, the temperature at Sky Harbor International Airport had reached 122\u00b0F and set a new all-time record (it has since been broken).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s pretty hot when you think about it. Most people would equate that heat to \u201csticking your head in the oven\u201d hot. As I write this, it\u2019s 41\u00b0F outside, and if my math is correct (I was never good at it), that summer day when I mowed the lawn was 81\u00b0 hotter than it is right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did I flinch? No. Was I uncomfortable? Maybe, but that\u2019s what shorts and Bruce Springsteen muscle shirts are for. Did I think there was anything different about the day? Nope, especially when the days before had been between 115\u00b0 and 120\u00b0F. What\u2019s 2\u00b0 more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, when I was stationed in Alaska in 1992 observing the weather in a town named after a fish, I went outside to smoke a cigarette (shame on me). When the air gets really cold, I\u2019ve noticed a few things: 1) nose hairs can ice over; 2) a deep breath in at a sickeningly low temperature can produce a cough as moisture in the mouth freezes; and 3) cigarettes smoked through a rabbit fur lined parka can ironically prevent any of the other two things from happening. They can also catch that rabbit fur on fire, but I digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The temperature that day had dropped to -34\u00b0F. That was the coldest temperature I had ever been in, but it was nowhere near the coldest recorded temperature on Earth. That happens to be -128.6\u00b0F, which occurred on July 7, 1983 in Vostok, Antarctica. If I do my math correctly again, that would be 250.6\u00b0F colder than the day I mowed the lawn in Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how did I feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To tell you the truth, I was <strong>ecstatic<\/strong>. For a boy from Phoenix, getting to be in a place that was that cold was something I never would have imagined when I mowed that lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does this have to do with writing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my <a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/2022\/05\/11\/a-little-experiment-with-weather-emotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experiment on weather and emotions<\/a> which I ran earlier this year, I tried to include pictures of temperature. There was a problem, though. What picture shows cold (and not ice or snow)? What picture shows hot (without people)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one that I picked for heat may have unintentionally led people to respond in the wrong way.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/q10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/q10.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of a hot day\" class=\"wp-image-18563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/q10.jpg 480w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/q10-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What emotion pops up in your mind when you look at the picture above?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results from that experiment showed that my picture of heat produced more &#8220;sad&#8221; or &#8220;fear&#8221; responses than anything else. If this was true, my hypothesis was ruined as I had predicted that images of heat would stir up emotions of anger, rage, or even annoyance. I mean, when I think of heat, I get annoyed these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically in writing, authors don&#8217;t add temperature into the story. They may thrown in snow or rain or thunderstorms or tornados, but describing a hot day is not as effective for eliciting a response in a reader as, say, describing the drum of hail on the roof of a moving car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can <strong>show <\/strong>the temperature is cold, of course. Or hot, for that matter. Describing a white field and the crunch of a horse&#8217;s hooves as it plods through deep snow tells the reader that it&#8217;s cold. So, too, would describing the profuse perspiration of a man walking down the street, scant clouds in the sky and an overhead sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(On that note: if your character is in a desert, it is rare for them to sweat &#8220;profusely.&#8221; In dry climates, sweat evaporates from the surface of the skin, thus naturally cooling it. In wet climates, however, the air is already saturated with moisture so sweat just stays where it&#8217;s not wanted.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what is the connection between temperature and emotion that we can use in our writing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe&#8211;and this is all conjecture because my experiment was flawed when it came to this area&#8211;the emotions drummed up by your characters would also be the emotions that <strong>you <\/strong>feel when you are in that situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, I was perfectly calm in 122\u00b0F in Phoenix that day, more annoyed that I had to mow the lawn than at the heat. But now, if I were to write a story where my characters were placed in such an environment, I would probably do so to show <strong>annoyance <\/strong>or <strong>anger<\/strong>. Conversely, when the temperature drops below 0\u00b0F, I experience more <strong>sadness<\/strong>. So, too, would my characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learn more in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PA7IBj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creating Atmosphere with Atmosphere: How to Use Weather as a Literary Device<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PA7IBj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19927\" width=\"400\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad-768x595.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/temperature_and_emotion_pin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/temperature_and_emotion_pin-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"On Temperature &amp; Emotion\" class=\"wp-image-18570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/temperature_and_emotion_pin-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/temperature_and_emotion_pin-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/temperature_and_emotion_pin-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/temperature_and_emotion_pin.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><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=\"On%20Temperature%20%26%20Emotion\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The emotions drummed up by your characters would also be the emotions that you feel when you are in that situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18573,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156,15],"tags":[157],"class_list":["post-10283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weather","category-writing-2","tag-weather"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6.1 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>On Temperature &amp; Emotion - Benjamin X.
