I'm actually enjoying using the Daily Spark as a writing guide. Today's topic is nothing short of challenging. Plus I make myself write for 30 minutes and that's it. I cannot change what I write or spend all day thinking about the topic. Here we go again!
Sweltering, Not Hot
Even the best writers rely on obvious words. Practice mental flexibility by writing a paragraph describing a typical August afternoon without using the words hot, humid, heat, or sun.
Perspiration was forming a liquescent line down Rowan's back, as she gazed longingly at the cool and inviting water of the family pool. Even her raspberry iced tea was sweating in the sticky August afternoon. Yuk! It was just like her parents to send her to her room for absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing! They are so unfair how they treat her because she's different. Rowan couldn't help that she was not cut from the same cloth. Now all she could do was peer begrudgingly at her sister and her sister's perky friends jumping and laughing poolside in their bikinis. How could her parents be so clueless? There was not a worse punishment than sitting in an oppressive bedroom while your sister is having the time of her life. Why bother to even look! Rowan angrily forced the curtains closed on her window, threw herself down on her bed and hoped she could sleep away her frustration.
