Changing My Perspective - News and Feature Writing

Last night, after finishing with my night class, I decided to take a stroll through the Science Center parking lot at 9:00 PM.

It had been raining, and the air smelled fresh but felt thick as I breathed it in. The sky was still holding onto its murky gray color, but off in the distance, beyond Buhler Rohlfs, a faint orange-ish purple was peeking through the matte clouds.

It was silent yet loud. Locusts buzzed in the bushes. A car engine hummed lightly as a student prepared to pull away. Yet I could still hear my footsteps on the gravelly concrete. The soft squeak of the rubber sole made its presence known over the sounds of nature.

After the short walk, I decided to leave the sights and sounds of nature behind and step into my freshly watered car. It was time to go home.

What are the connotations of stroll? Did you feel like you were strolling?

"Freshly watered" stood out for Jordan and me. Freshly rinsed? Rain dappled? What is it you want readers to see? Rain beaded?

    This blog is a glimpse into my crazy life as a twenty-something female entrepreneur navigating life as the co-owner of a mother-daughter business. Things get pretty insane, but we make it all work.
