Writing In The Rain!

I can't say how much I love the rain, but I will try and list the ways ;) also, it's 6:44am. I'm listening to Runaway by Yeah Yeah Yeahs (video at the bottom). It is perfect--I'm feeling the most inspired I have all week, and all because of two things just coincidentally going together. Not only that, but I love the rain, I would write in the rain if I could, but there are several problems with that, including things getting wet, and being cold, and as much as I love the rain. I really don't like the cold.



Okay, so I'm posting about the rain. Whoa--I feel a little crazy right now, but there's all these variables for some as to when they write or when they're inspired. I can safely say that the rain is the most soothing noise to me, and it's beautiful. The thick overhanging grey clouds just smashing into each other and becoming darker, only to shower me with the perfect conditions and looking out of my window as the rain puddles and the unrest of the ripples colliding in turmoil---again, whoa---but like I said, it's inspiring to see the rain vine down my window following it's own route, or that of its predecessors. I shall let you call me crazy now, because I'm even worrying myself.





Happy Writing & Happy Reading!

What weather inspires you? What song can you surrender to and just sit in a dark room being absorbed into its waves? Is there a time of day when you're feeling the most alive to just WRITE?
