Still writing a bunch in my novel, but decided to take a brief break for some purple prose! This scene (if it were in the book) would be towards the end of chapter one.

The purple prose made me realize that while I am sometimes verbose, I am not that verbose!

 So have a bit of Purple for your day....
( It's not...super spoilery .  But being careful and hopefully I did the Cut thing right! )

Rumplestiltskin was still away, gone off to Agrabah apparently.  And of course, he had been as secretive and vague as ever about why he'd left.  But Belle's main priority now was dusting his collection.  There had been days where the thought of running away had indeed crossed her mind for a fleeting moment, but there was something indescribable keeping her here.  Bravery? Duty? Or was...it him? At times, he could be as prickly and rough as thorns. But she knew somewhere there was a rose underneath. 
 
There were so many lovely and wonderful things in the Castle. She'd asked him on multiple occasions why he'd collected or procured all of them- he'd simply tell her to return to her chores.  As the sunset was drawing even closer and the few smatterings of light were creating flecks of brightness in the darkening room, another object caught her eye.  Picking it up rather delicately, she turned the small amber stone in her hand. 
 
"Enjoying yourself, dearie?" 
 
At the sound of that now-familiar voice, Belle dropped the stone, swiftly trying to replace it.

 So last week we had the "describe the setting through characters actions" challenge.  Well today, let's do a little bit of the opposite .

Yes.  It's time...for Purple Prose.  

(recently I posted a fic meme on my Journal and got prompted with "purple prose" for OUaT fic,  I believe I get the basic concept now. And why it's probably a bad idea :P) 

So for your scene, you're going to have your character(s) finding their way around a place. It can be somewhere they've never been or revisiting somewhere from the past.  And describe it the most Purple way you can.
