Hello, writers! How are you doing?

Have you ever noticed how the surroundings in a story sometimes reflect the feelings of the characters? For example, the sky darkens just before something bad happens, or the moon hides behind clouds when the protagonist faces a tough decision.

This isn't just a coincidence; it's a deliberate literary technique called Pathetic Fallacy. By employing this technique, you can transform a simple description into an immersive experience, blending nature with human emotion.

In this week's article, we'll delve into what Pathetic Fallacy is, its origins, and how you can use it in your writing.

Give it a read and let me know your thoughts!
