"writing as an observer of a scene, not as its maker" - love that. To me, that means, focusing on how that scene makes me feel, instead of trying hard to put all the graphic details into words. Great point!

Awesome! Sometimes a reframe can make something click in a whole new way. I'm glad I could be helpful.

We have a lot full of trees across the street. When the wind blows the ones that are leaning on others creak like rusty gates. Much creepier in the dark and fog. That sound has been used in movies since their inception for good reason.
