That for the life of me I cannot describe a beach. OMG, I am honest when I'd say I'd rather write a scene full of smut (and I mean, come on, me writing smut? I'm totally, and completely out of my depth with that one) then write another goddamn beach scene, or a scene describing water.
Why on earth did I decide that his element had to be water. I hate water. I fear deep water. I just got tired of using Fire, and I mean... I can't use Earth without using Cameo as the MC. I can't use Cameo in this story because it's a different world and then I'd have to bring in Elodin and it's all kinds of complications.
And besides that, I can't imagine him in this world I'm constructing. This world, I don't want any of my normal babies playing round in it. It's completely new and exciting because it has a clean slate.
But ugh, goddamn Beach Scenes. Never. Again.
There was a spot on the beach that not many people went to, if any. Most didn't want to talk the time it took to get there. There was a corner of the beach that ended up being blocked off by rocks, if you took the time you could swim around the rocks. It wasn't a long swim, maybe about 5 minutes, and in some places the water was shallow enough that you could walk.
The spot was a little circular area cut off from the rest of the beach, a few tree scattered here and there offering shade to anyone who wandered in. There a flat rock half buried near the water and I make my way to it, settling on top and lying down.
There my wonderfully, horrible beach scene, it'll be edited and prettied up when I go back over the chapter later on.
On a more funny, less aggravating note, at some point later on the series (possibly book 3, I'm hoping book 3 since Mana comes in around that time) towards the end Calder tries to talk Mana into going out with him.
That whole scene was amusing to write. I enjoyed it. It made up for this damn beach scene *grumbles* I hate beaches.
