Today's *blink* -

Go outside. What is the weather doing? What does the sky look like? (today, we’re grey and overcast with light rain.) Think of vivid and picturesque ways of describing the scene before you (if you’re inside looking out, add that to your description.) Imagine a scene that’s far away from you but still with the same weather – on a dock ready to board a ship? A child stepping out onto the playground? Struggling to open a stubborn umbrella as you rush to an important meeting? Be creative. Use metaphors but make this weather an integral part of the setting you want to create.
