Description
Weather it’s Elemental“Cumula, look we have Watchers. Do you fancy a game?”
“We are working, Airos.” Cumula rose upward drawing a current along with her, allowing the moisture laden air to rise past her.
“Ah come on, it could be the low for our day, all pun intended. Besides a bit of fun never hurt anyone.”
“Do you realize the trouble we would be in, if the High Elementess found out?”
“Well, I’m not telling!”
“We’re working,” she repeated as she felt the cyclonic flow rush up and outwards with counter-clockwise motion.
“I could do it in a milliquency,” Airos stated.
“Big deal, so could I!”
“I could do it in a nanoquency.”
“Airos, You’re nothing but a lot of hot air, no pun intended. It can’t be done. If only given a nanoquency, the watchers could never guess. Not correctly, anyway,” she challenged.
“Is it a game then?”
“Fine, but I choose. Make it Equestrian.”
“Watch,” Airos said with a laugh.
In less than a nanoquency, heavily humid currents rushed upwards, meeting his cool breath, thickening with condensation. Exhaling, anomalous gusts and eddies whipped through the air. With each breath, he designed and sculpted, refining his creation.

Nestled in an embrace of meadow grass and crimson clover, Jenney looked to the clouded skies. Lying on her earthen blanket, her arm shot upwards. She pointed into the distance, “Look, Tom! Do you see it? In that cloud rising out of that rainstorm. It blew up out of nowhere. It looks like a stampeding horse. Don’t you think?”

Hah! I like this idea. It's certainly a more appealing alternative explanation for cloud-shapes

Thanks! Are you going to enter anything in the clouds contest for Daily Lit Deviations? It seems all I've been able to write of late is shorts, and I haven't done that many of those. I've squandered my summer, and now I'm down to the last few weeks. I just haven't felt up to tackling the larger projects. I'm still editing the one piece I wrote for writers of the future contest, but I'm starting to think it's a piece of #@$@. Wouldn't it be great to write a piece and still like it a month later? BTW How's your writing going?

I don't think so... I haven't really been writing much these days. Even at the best of times I'm a very slow and inconsistent writer, but lately I just can't seem to find the energy/motivation to do much. I think I need something to get me started, like a contest -- but the "clouds" theme doesn't really excite anything in me. I dunno, maybe something will hit me one of these days!
Definitely, the more I edit my pieces the more my opinion of them starts to fall. I normally don't go over a piece too many times before posting it. Although sometimes, if after a long time I go back to a piece that I initially didn't like, it doesn't seem so bad.
I know how you feel about the lack of "stamina" -- I can't see myself writing anything of any appreciable length, really. Everything just sort of fizzles out after a while. With my webcomic idea I was hoping that working with someone might help to keep me going but that hasn't worked out so well...

That was cute how you wrote it and the idea was beautiful I don't know how but that last scene tied it together so good.

Thanks. It's a lot of childhood memories there. I lived out in the countryside, and sometimes there wasn't much else to do but watch clouds.
