Let's write!

Wow it's hot here! 96 is the high, though it's going to cool for the rest of the week, down to 80 by the weekend. Write two paragraphs where your characters are experiencing extreme weather - hot weather, a rainstorm, a blizzard, whatever you like. Focus on describing the characters themselves and their actions to convey the situation - "her hair whipped into her face, stinging her cheek", "he pulled his coat snug around himself but the water trickled in through every seam", "the blouse plastered to her skin by sweat", etc. Try to avoid using the actual words for temperature and weather - hot, cold, freezing, snow, rain, etc.
