Take me there
So, I've answered some challenges and decided to set one myself. I've noticed that you're all really good at setting the scene and I love to read things that really manage to take you to that place and moment, like looking at a picture from a different place and time. So here's my challenge: How good are you at describing a scene, any scene, *without* dialogue. It can include anything else; your characters, your scene, your experience...whatever you want it to include so long as it really takes the reader to that place! I'm setting a fairly long time since I have a trip and work due in in a short space of time so plenty of time to brew an idea and perfect it :) Good Luck (apologies if this is similar to other challenges!) *MULTIPLE ENTRIES ACCEPTED*
