Reading Notes: The Cloud That Was Lost

(Wild Phlox via Wikimedia Commons)

-The clouds were personified

-The country was located on high mountains

-The clouds were little and white - I want to make them fluffy like pillows because it adds more details

-The clouds fall asleep on the mountaintops during the day because they wait for the sky to become heavy enough to rain

-The wind blows them around 

-The clouds bump into each other - I want to make two clouds bump and fall in love (Claus and Claudia)

-They are happy when the sun goes down

-They enjoy being friends with the mountains

-One lone cloud got separated from his siblings because he was chasing is fluffy tail

-He began to cry because he was so far from his siblings and mountain friends - maybe make him find another lost cloud... they can eventually find their way back by following a bright star? then they can fall in love

-The end is flowers gaining their color but I'll probably cut that part out of the story.....
