I'm thinking we may have a very hot, dry summer.<br /><br />Janel, the allergies are bad this time of year. Hopefully they'll get better.<br /><br />Jan, I like the saying. It seems to fit here in Georgia right now.<br /><br />Clarissa, weather does have an effect on my mood too. Your book with weather as the key to the mystery sounds intriguing. <br /><br />Charity, I love the fact you included the storm for your daughter. That was sweet. Happy to meet you, glad you found us.<br /><br />Diane, cool crisp days are nice.<br /><br />Jane, there are years that it seems we jump over one of the seasons here in Georgia too.<br /><br />Mary, sorry to hear about your basement. Hopefully it will dry out quickly. We have a chance of scattered showers all week but no heavy rains.Mason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-81319679018435633812010-05-11T21:48:11.224-04:002010-05-11T21:48:11.224-04:00We had a day of VERY HEAVY rain today and our base...We had a day of VERY HEAVY rain today and our basement flooded. :-(<br /><br />Very heavy rain is NOT NICE.

She stated she gets frustrated that so many books are all sunny days and blue skies. I laughed but when I thought about it, I added a stormy day just for her. We both love good storms. <br /><br />My current novel is set in the spring, because I think of it as the most "magical" time of the year. (It's a science fantasy novel) However, autumn is my favorite time. I love the earthy colors and the smell and sound of the dried leaves. I love the "bite" to the air. All of it!<br /><br />Thanks for reminding us that the weather can play a part in the action as well as how our characters feel and react to things.Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-1645110745048812442010-05-11T14:32:19.616-04:002010-05-11T14:32:19.616-04:00Weather makes a big difference in my mood and my w...Weather makes a big difference in my mood and my writing.

That's happened to me, too. I have to say, right now, I live in a part of the country where the weather doesn't change very much. I miss seasons. I miss changing weather and the cycle of the year. And yes, I sure do include weather in my writing. Weather even plays an important role in one of my novels.
