Yes, I love those rainy days and nights. There is something magical and romantic about walking in the rain with the one you love under a big umbrella. Even sitting by the window and watching the drops cleanse the earth and refresh the spirit. The most relaxing thing in the world for me is listening the gentle patter of rain against the roof or skylight just above my bed when wrapped in my guy's arms.
When was the last time you ran through a puddle – on purpose? Remember being a carefree kid and stomping in the puddle?
As for inspiration for plotting? Rain? Well, yeah. Just sit, listen and let your body and mind run wild through the drizzle. Put on your favorite rain coat and go for a walk in the summer rain – don't think about your troubles, don't think about your plot…just let the water sing to your soul. Running water can have an amazing effect on your imagination, if you listen to it. It's natural, it's a force of nature that can be both refreshing and deadly, depending on the circumstances.
Now take your character and put them in the rain. How do they react? Do you have the primadona who is horrified her hair will frizz? Are there bad memories of a storm as a child? Does your hero want nothing more than to drag the heroine into his arms and kiss the rain from her lips?
Next time it rains, make use of all of your senses and enjoy! And to really set the mood – here's some inspiration from the Neil Sedaka.

Dialogue. It’s what moves the story at a faster pace. It’s what drags the reader into the world of the character and breathes life into the scene you’ve created.
Can I talk to anyone in real life? YES.
Am I ever at a loss for words? HARDLY EVER!
But when it comes to my writing, I love my narratives and [...]

Admission: I cannot write with a pen or a pencil.
Gasp.
I imagine plenty of people can curl up with a brand new note pad and the perfect pen and write for hours – I on the otherhand get finger cramps and brain farts within minutes.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I love the click of the [...]
I remember being a kid and waking up to Christmas music on Thanksgiving morning. Food being prepared in the kitchen, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. The chill in the air and for a kid – the sheer delight in knowing Santa was not far behind!
My dad worked on Thanksgiving. 40 years ago, still [...]
