"The sun was coming down like a gigantic egg yolk."
My editor and I had to wrestle with this sentence in Invisible Orphans. She was adamant that I needed to use other words to describe the sun, "not egg yolk, it sounds soupy..."
Last Wednesday, I could not help taking these photos during sunset. I took all three of them within seconds. Look closely. The shape of the sun did just as I described.
How interesting, life imitates art.
