Viva Sea-Tac

As a former Seattlite, this cracks me up. Well, tip #5 does, anyway:

Here's a trend-setting idea (that I'm offering to you for free): See if you can draw interesting parallels between your characters' inner selves and the famously mercurial weather of this region. Having characters interact with weather, particularly rain, is the ticket to making them thoughtful and important-seeming. Without characters who are reflective and rain-soaked, where exactly are you as a fiction writer? Answer: nowhere.
