Prompt 19

Now we're on the last sense - sight.  When you're writing a story you're goal is to transport your reader
into the pages of your story.  Having great description and creating imagery is key.  Look out your window
it doesn't matter if it looks out onto a busy road or a quiet street.  I want you to describe everything
you see in detail.  Try comparing what you see to something else.  Using similes and metaphors really
helps to get your point across.

For example, Looking outside my window I see an elderly couple walking a dog.  The closeness of their
proximity tells me how well they know each other, perhaps a lifetime plus more as they stride along,
their dusty spaniel leading the way like a soldier commanding his troops.  Come and give it a try!
