Learning to transition from one scene to another takes practice. You don't want to leave your writers feeling like they've missed something. The transition that carries the reader into your story is just as important. It must gently guide the reader into the world and lives of your characters and at the same time hook them.
Pumping Your Muse Prompt
Today's prompt will create a gentle transition with the wind as your tool. The wind itself is unseen, but what it does to the world can be seen and used to introduce your world. For example:
A balmy gust brushed the grass in waves. Dandelions growing between the cracks of a brick walkway bowed their yellow heads, except for one that had gone to seed. White fluffy seeds caught a ride on a dirt devil. They flew high toward the bright sky and glided freely over the park. Over the couple huddled in secrecy on the park bench.
Use one of the following items with the wind to transition into a fresh scene:
- Dried leaves
- Sand
- Dandelions
- Butterfly
- Bird
If you think of your own, that's great. Just add wind, mix...and write!

Watch for author Donna's Sundblad inspirational fantasy due to be released in time for Christmas.
Written within the allegorical tradition of classics like Pilgrim's Progress, The Inheritanceoffers a literal but symbolic story for today's fantasy enthusiasts. You'll laugh, experience dangers and snares and witness a budding romance. This cleverly devised tale doesn't tell you what to think, but stimulates thought as to why you believe what you believe in your own quest for the Eternal City

When we first started smoking, we probably thought that it made us cool, calm, and relaxed and at first it actually did make us feel better;
