Rainy Day Writing

I just got home from a vacation in Florida--and was greeted by rain, rain, and more rain.

Which is a good thing.

Something about the rain inspires me to hunker down and write. When it's sunshine and spring, I want to go for long walks with the dogs, push the baby in the stroller, garden, and, in general, goof off.

But rain makes me want to write. I feel snuggled in, cozy in my chair, and ready to visit my books. I think I picture Jo in Little Women, up in her attic. Only I don't have an attic office, I'm on the ground floor.

Snow doesn't have the same effect. I want to make snow angels and just watch it fall. Snow is magical. I can't be bothered earning a living when there's SNOW to play in!

Rain equals work. And maybe a nap.

So are your writing moods ever dictated by weather?
