Petrichor

NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU
DID YOU KNOW #011

Did you know… I have ALWAYS loved the smell of rain to come, but I didn’t know the name of it till recently.

There is something about that smell that I have always loved and I’m not sure why. I know there are lots of people that share that sentiment as well. When I first started writing Chapter 11 and knew there would be rain I figured it would be another perfect fact for Ricardo to talk about.

I love the rain and that is something I try to convey through Ricardo’s love of the rain. Even now as an adult I love to play in the rain with my sons. Lots of people dislike the rain, but it’s always something that reminds me of life and cleansing. It is something you will see in my second book as well with one of my main characters.
