#Eden Lit Club Meeting- Getting Started - March 11, 2013 at 4 pm EDT

Sounds interesting! Isn't it amazing what will spark our inner muse? I was writing all about how to describe a scene and wrote:

The day was warm and fragrant with freshly cut grass. The water sparkled on the pond as the wind played ripples upon its surface. She was wearing a pink cotton sundress and giant sun hat that required her to place a hand every once and a while on the crown to keep it from being blown away in the playful breezes. The birds called to her and she tiled up her head, closing her eyes in ecstasy at the blues, yellows and greens of the day.

"You look like a wild fae, my dear, all red hair and freckles like sun kisses across your nose!" The man spoke in low tones, unwilling to break the spiritual hush that the meadow offered. The woman smiled at him and sat on the red and white blanket across from the laden picnic basket. He handed her a flute of champagne and a plump strawberry. He watched as the rim of her hat raised slowly until he could see the clear green of her eyes flashing mischief and happiness. She studied him for a moment before lifting the berry to her lips and biting into the tart succulence before sipping the bubbly wine.

Her companion was classically attractive, and why not? He looked as though he had stepped out of a photo of the past in his grey chinos, lavender button down shirt and dark, business cut hair. His slight stubble accented his kissable mouth and when he smiled things tightened low in her belly.

It was based on a single scene from a movie I had paused to write the lesson. The actors were frozen in place and I just write what I saw. less
