Grr

I know I overuse the passive voice when I write, but I literally don't know how to write the sentence, "The windows were open, letting the warm Southern California air drift in," without using it because.... well, they're windows. They don't open themselves. And they're already open when the characters walked in.

I swear, this one guy in my critique group likes to nitpick a little too much.

(unless I'm wrong, in which case, please correct me)

(I need more Untamed icons)

ETA "The opened windows let the warm Southern California air drift in." Still don't see why it matters. They're windows.
