[stylist] Writing prompt (brown winter).

[Eve Sanchez]

Shawn, I like where this is going, but I got lost on the way. (perhaps I
was traveling somewhere else haha).   Well, what I was having trouble with
was the timeline. First I was thinking it was present time, then you talked
of coming Christmas, then you mention Winter, then November. I'm lost. You
do know that Winter does not start until Winter Solstice right? That's in
December. I like the message, just wish I could understand the time or that
there was some reference making it understandable as a time leap or
something. I hope you understand what I am so poorly trying to say. Eve
