I have a screened in porch, and it's nice to curl up with a book outside when it's raining, especially an old battered classic like 'Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As readers can probably tell from my books, I love the outdoors.
I've always found the rain very calming.
Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader - not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon.
My mother always kept library books in the house, and one rainy Sunday afternoon - this was before television, and we didn't even have a radio - I picked up a book to look at the pictures and discovered I was reading and enjoying what I read.
The pieces I've written for 'Outside' magazine are definitely my best work, and they're virtually all about the outdoors.
In the winter, I read next to a wood-burning stove. In the summer, we have a place up in Michigan where I like to read in a hammock. It's almost entirely hidden by cedar trees and right up by the water. You can climb in there and see nothing but water and be seen by nobody. It's perfect.
I just wanna get to the end of the day without it raining.
I'm an armchair kind of guy, especially when it's raining, which it always is and always will be.
A lot of my background is in theatre, so when you're on location, and the wind is really blowing, it's raining, and you've got mud all over you, it really keeps you on your toes.
My ideal summer day was reading on the porch.
