Mine is slow going but I'm managing. I'm still UNDER 11,000 words, but Its okay for me.
I've been busy translating English to french, Reading for classes, and writing papers. So I haven't had a great deal of time.
For today's prompts, I'd like to use similes.
See if you can finish these sentence for similes and incorporate one into your writing:
- As heavy as
- As cold as
- As hard as
- She had skin like a
- As cool as
- As quick as
- He was slow like a
- Slippery like a

She had skin like a peeled apricot. HAHAHA ok that was unusual and slightly disturbing. lol.
I hope you don't give up for NaNo. Keep plugging away and you'll get there :)
Hi Summer! Thanks for the challenge :)
As heavy as sorrow
As cold as power
As hard as judgement
She had skin like moonlight
As cool as midnight
As quick as wit
He was slow like a lazy afternoon
Slippery like a dream
There's my take on them!
As for using one ... hmmm .. now there's a challenge!
What an adorable picture!
I dropped out of NaNo myself, do to a number of reasons, but you sound even busier than me! Keep up the good work!
Oh the pic!! Wow!!!!!
I've very bad with similes... already I'm using non-imaginative ones like "as cool as a cucumber!"
Good luck with your nano (these are precious 10160 words you have!!) and french translation!!!
Take care

Cinnette- Thank you!
Old Kitty- I appreciate your encouragement.
Possibly one of the most beautiful children in the world.
Such a precious picture!! And major props to you for doing NaNo. You're an inspiration to the rest of us. Your intricate research is going to make one heck of a story :) Good luck!!!
TOO HARD! To resist:
As heavy as guilt
As cold as winter's leaching lick and bite
As hard as a quantum physical
She had skin like warmed silk
As cool as dropping mist
As quick as the movement you spy in the corner of your eye
He was slow like a downtown traffic
Slippery like shell fragments in raw egg
Saumya~ Thank you
Elaine~ I like as cool as dropping mist
I was struggling with NaNo, but I'm managing to keep up a little, though a few steps behind. Great prompts and love Dominic's work on them. :D
Fun post. As busy as you are, you're still plugging away at NaNo. Good for you.
That picture is stunning!! I don't NaNo, but I'm in awe of those who do. :-)
Hi Summer. You got some great attempts at similes. I love doing these but it takes time. Good on you for NaNo. I've got 16,000 words to go so shouldn't be here but thought I'd just pop in and say hi and bye!
Happy tapping!
