Hot enough for you?
Most of the country (except here in the Pacific Northwest) has been sweltering under a heat wave.
If you have any energy left to write, use the hot weather in a story you're writing.
How did the heat wave make you feel? Sticky, grumpy, happy, sweaty, or thirsty?
What did you wear? Flip-flops, sunglasses, a baseball cap, and your favorite shorts with the dolphins on them?
Did you stay inside and play video games? Or did you bike to the beach and build a sand castle?
What did the heat wave smell like? Suntan lotion, chlorine, and hot asphalt?
What did the heat wave taste like? Grilled hot dogs, fudgicles, and watermelon?
Try using sensory details from the heat wave to create a scene in your story that sizzles under the sun.
And stay cool!
