What fictional character do you admire? What specific characteristics do they possess that make them attractive? As dawn leaks into the sky it edits out the stars like excess punctuation marks, deleting asterisks and periods, commas, and semi-colons, leaving only unhinged thoughts rotating and pivoting, and unsecured words.” ― Ann Zwinger, Downcanyon: A Naturalist Explores the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon tags: canyon, constellations, dawn, grand-canyon, imagery, metaphor, national-parks, nature, nature-writing, night-sky, poetic-prose, sky, sunrsie “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Arthur Conan Doyle Quotes (Author of A Study in Scarlet) - Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2448.Arthur_Conan_Doyle Strong Characters I like adventurers.
