THE RULE OF WRITE ABOUT A PEBBLE:
    Don’t write about a general idea or topic; write about a specific,
    observable person, place, occasion, time, object, animal, or experience.
    Its essence will lie in the sensory images the writer evokes: observed
    details of sight, sound, smell, touch, taste; and strong verbs that bring
    the details to life. (Nancie Atwell)
