Waves of Thought

Waves of Thought

A Story by Sarah
"

Another Scene - hoping to compile these scenes one day.

"

Colors spread across the sky creating a bold line of the horizon, separating water and sky. The lake was vast and the water moved in such a way that it instantly soothed Vitty. Birds danced, looking for their morning catch. Waves crawled up to the rocky coast. She curled up on a bench, feet tucked under her, and enjoyed the peace of the moment.

The water glimmered with the rising sun, highlighting its every movement.  One wave would crash, and its white foam would reach as far as it could, but eventually it would dissolve right back into the larger body of water. Another wave would follow and it may reach farther, but eventually it would pull right back to the lake. Every once in a while, maybe when a boat drove by or something else disturbed the water, a wave would come up to the shore with a vengeance, and any onlooker would have the passing thought of, that was a big one. Even so, the wave would always break apart and cease to exist, and any onlooker would walk away, forever forgetting the memory of the wave that stood out among the rest.

I find short descriptions like these to be really enjoyable because they leave you with a certain feeling - calm, then sadness (or emptiness?) - without having anything to do with the characters. So, all I have to say is you have a gift with words. You can have a fascinating story with fascinating characters, but a really good writer can grab your attention just with their words, and that's what you can do :) So, well done :)
Keep up the good work! :)
p.s. I wish I could give you constructive criticism, but I really don't know what I'd tell you to improve upon :S If you're looking to grow as a writer, though, what I can suggest (and something you probably already know) is to continue writing as much as you can, to continue sharing it so people can comment, and to read as much as you can :) I definitely think you're headed in the right direction :) Good luck!

An introspective individual's fleeting thought while sitting beside the bay.
This is pleasant to read.
If you plan on beginning a scene: this is an excellent start.

This story had some impressive imagery in it, that left a picture in the readers mind. Nice job!
