Jurassic Park (writing prompts!)

And some inspiration from Ann Patchett.

To start, here's a short passage from Ann Patchett’s (truly wonderful, read it!) book State of Wonder:

“Minnesota! It smelled like raspberries and sunlight and tender grass. It was summer, and everything was more beautiful than any picture she had carried with her. By the time they were in the taxi they still knew that something extraordinary had happened but they found themselves distracted, first by the tall buildings and then later by the trees that were fully leafed, by the wide stretches of prairie that let the eye sweep so easily in any direction, by the remarkable lightness of air… There had never been a place in the world as beautiful as Minnesota.”

I just think that's lovely. And now I want you to try to incorporate a description of how something smells at some point during your writing today.

All of tonight’s prompts were inspired by the movie Jurassic Park:
