They started with a TITLE followed by
A.) Subsets of the plot, broken into points describing the
1. Foreshadowing,
2. The imagery, and
3. The symbolism, in the story.
Then the topics are simplified further with
a. point of view,
b. the conflict, and
c. summary of characters.
I’ve written an outline of my 20+ years working as a broadcast meteorologist that includes all of these literary devices (and more…).
For me, the most enjoyable part to write may be the character descriptions and the plot analysis.
However, as much as I have relished my chapters of atmospheric education and mastering the build of my own weather forecasts from numerical models,
I am making a stealthy departure in the next chapter.
In my conclusion, I am no longer presenting on a local tv station, delivering my weather stories to you daily. I am working on the location for my new chapter about a different angle in my career. I don’t have it yet. I’m looking, researching, and applying.
Currently, my toes are in the cold, wet grass of Seattle while my hands are reaching through the cloud outlines and every layer of earth’s atmosphere while grasping for the stars.
I promise to update you on my progress. Please keep me in your most positive thoughts while I find a new job for a new chapter. #outlook #science #career

I knew something was up when she was a no-show during the past couple weeks. I initially thought she was on vacation, but then I remembered the same thing happened when she was on KIRO TV over a decade ago, disappeared with no explanation. I really hope it wasn't because of a `bad' viewer out there in either case - she definitely doesn't deserve that.
I always enjoyed watching your weather forecasts, Rebecca. Take care, be safe, and good luck with your new endeavors!
Miss her a lot , we will miss Rebecca, wondered where she was ,thought she was on vacation, komo news is getting really bad, guess it's time to watch # 7, Rebecca will be missed by many
totally agree to much change at komo and not for the better
A loss indeed. Rebecca, you always made the weather reports informative and fun. I sense that viewers will turn their attention elsewhere now. Komo changes have been awful and this viewer is changing channels. Wishing you all the best.
I really do miss you, Rebecca. I was upset when you disappeared with no trace or mention on the station. I hope it was strictly your decision. I will watch other stations more for weather reports now except when Shannon or George is doing them. I hope you will keep us posted. KOMO didn't say anything about your leaving.
Good luck!

WOW!!!
What a SHOCK to realize that Rebecca was gone.
At first I thought you were on vacation, then eventually realized that there was a new weather person in Stella Sun.
Rebecca, you were a Bright Spot delivering the weather reports. I've watched you ever since you first came to KOMO-4.
There is No Replacing YOU!!!
I will Always Remember You ❤️.
Take Good Care of Yourself, and Please figure out how to let us know how you are.
A Loyal Fan,

I was missing you the last couple of weeks with the weather when you and Shannon alternated. I understand the need for change and hopefully you’ll find what you’re looking for. You did a great job! I can’t imagine how ‘y’all do it! Keep us updated as to what you’re doing. Thanks
I just stopped watching channel 4.
Sorry to see you go, you were the only one that consistently got it right.
Just bummed.
Hope no other heads roll on KOMO. I really enjoyed both of our meteorologists on channel 4. What's up with that!
I missed seeing you the past few days you Rebecca! I had to look up why you were no longer on Komo.
I wish you the very best in your next endeavor!
Sunny skies ahead for you.
She is a great weather person. Very personable and great at what she does. Would hope KOMO would have had the sense to keep her.
