How We Use Weather in Our Writing


by Lynn Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn

A personal note from Lynn: Please continue to pray for all those impacted by Hurricane Helene. My brain can’t process the devastation, and my heart is broken for all who lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods.

For the past few days, the weather has been front and center in my life. Hurricane Helene and her aftermath have influenced every decision I’ve made, from what I’ve purchased at the store to how I’ve spent my time to how I’ve prayed. 

A few of my friends have mentioned how they fully expect some of the things that have happened to wind up in future books. And they’re probably right! 

As I’ve considered this, I started thinking about how we use weather in our writing.
