       #WordWeavers #western #horror8/21. Does severe weather play a part in your story? What kind?The role is minimal. This leads me to think on the implications of severe and dangerous weather. Especially in the American west of 1848.

       @slott56 I think it's criminally underused. I've used weather as plot devices in many D&D campaigns.

       @10leej my epic fantasy novels use it. But. Western horror has not. Mostly because I lived in the Mojave and didn’t see any weather down in the valleys. You’re right. Weather is part of setting and setting is an essential part of story-telling.

       @slott56 you write fantasy novels? Interesting I'd give them a read if you can lead me to printed copies.

       @10leej I’ll work on that. It may take a moment. I’m making money on non-fiction, which makes fiction a lower priority. Your encouragement helps me rethink that.
