On Writing: Looking Up
When your characters look up, what do they see? Sunsets and sunrises are so prevalent in books as to be clichés, yet every day there is a sunrise and every day there is a sunset, even if it's too cloudy for us to see either. I suppose mentioning the rising or setting sun makes more sense if there is a reason. For example, tonight there was a gorgeous sunset here because of the fires in California. The smoke drifts to Colorado and is trapped by the mountains.

I feel the same, but you put it in a way that i can really relate to. When i write the character is myself so far, so i have to find ways of making sense to my readers. Sometimes just by looking out i come up with my illustrations and it really helps! Every day events sometimes are strong messages as i learn to become a better writer i also look for people to inspire me , sometimes i am a bit too picky. Well you just inspired me!

I don't like to spend too much time describing a character since a characteristic I find refreshing someone else may find offensive, so I'm always looking at different ways of presenting my characters.
