Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Brandy Brow, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!

“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”

Whether Weather Affects the Writer

Author and weather aficionado Jean Wise, with her sunny disposition, leads this episode with weather-related facts and writing-related ideas. We talk about the line famously known as the worst opening line ever, how weather affects our health, how weather affects our moods, and how we can use weather to enhance our stories. Weather can foreshadow events, set the mood, raise the stakes, and so much more.
