ok, I have the angles flying threw the air very fast chasing after another angel. If you could help that would be great.




The ground below looked like a streak of ?.

brown river
streaks of mud
streaks of green and brown

What do you think?

I like the image of the ground looking like a brown river, but that gives me the picture of a mudslide. I don't know if that's what you're going for.

Well, unless these angels are flying faster than the speed of sound, or flying very low, it's not going to look like a streak at all.

It could . . . look like a patchwork quilt.

Or, if you still want to keep the steak analogy:

The ground below was a rushing blur of greens and browns and sparkling blues.

There are tons of websites that offer good starting points. My suggestion would be to google "how to write a synopsis" and "how to write a query," write them based on those, and then toss them into SYW and have the squirrels tear them apart. You'd be amazed at how much to learn when you have your work critiqued there.

I like alleycat's suggestion. It's more visual, if not accurate. (Don't forget the color black!)

The few times I have flown with angels, the ground seemed a colorful patchwork of fields, wood lots, towns, lakes and rivers. I don't remember anything brown.
