Me: whatever you do, don't write the words "it was a dark and stormy night"
My brain: it was a dark and stormy night it was a dark and stormy night it was a dark and stormy night it was a dark and stormy night it was a dark and stormy night it was a dark and stormy night it was
Part of the trouble with this scene is that I'm trying to describe a dark and stormy night without saying "it was a dark and stormy night."
