Monthly Writing Prompt
For this month's writing prompt write a scene using the following sentence to start;

The streets were deserted. Where was everyone? Where had they all gone?

Writing Tip
Our monthly writing tips are written by our very own TerishD. You can read more in Terish's Blog located in "The Abstractions" area of the forum.

Look Back

When not able to write ahead, it helps to look back. In my case I had written a paragraph ahead of the story. What I needed to do was add a section of exposition (talking) presenting some facts. In going back, I realized that I could insert a section where a 'tour' of the surroundings could be done. This allowed for character interaction, story development, and other things that enabled me to present the facts in an entertaining manner.

One should not face a writer's block with the mentality of bursting through it. I have found in my own experience that a writer's block is usually due to my mind indicating that it has a problem in 'channeling' the story. One reason might be a re-imagining of certain story points. Another reason however is that there is a problem in where you are at in the story, so you need to look back and find out the problem with the 'journey' that prevents the tale from advancing.

I'd have to say my (biological) dad. He and I are so similar, and I think its from more than just genetics. His calmness, gentleness, and intelligence have all been things I've aimed for. His sense of humor is amazing; even though he doesn't say a whole lot, he can say the right thing at the right time and have everyone laughing 'till they wet themselves. And his taste in music rubbed off a lot on me. So yeah. Just my aspiration to be like him has shaped who I am today.

Until about two or three years ago, I hadn't really changed much at all. But in the years since I was eighteen, I've gone through some major changes internally. Outside, I'm not much different. I'm becoming way more sure of myself, and I now have a much stronger sense of identity.

That's nice, but you aren't Urs. He's the one in the hot seat at the moment. You might be next. We'll have to wait and see who he picks.

I hate to say it, but I have recently discovered that the person that had the most influence in my life in my younger years (and even a bit today) was not a positive or uplifting person to me. But when I was younger I had always sought my bother praise and approval. However for the most part he was not good influence, mainly belittling and putting me down, making me feel insecure and all that. All in all, a real drag and weight around my neck.

I have been trying now to purge myself of his influence and get on with my life, having the life I want , and not really giving a damn about needing anyone approval. In the end, the only person I need to appease in my life, should be ME, not my brother, and not anyone else.

But yah. My older brother, who used to pick on me and put me down all the time, I guess we end listening to the bad long before we let ourself feel the good.

10) If you could swap lives with anyone who would it be, and if that were to happen what do you think the impact of you missing as who you use to be would be on everyone around you and maybe even the world?

Swap lives. Wow that is a good question.

I think I would swap lives with someone who was rich, no name needed for this. Just some rich dude that was not famous at all. That way I would not need to worry about image or anything like that.

As for how it would affect the lives of those around me. I really have no clue. I could not even entertain what the impact would be. I suppose it would be a bit of a shock to my family and those that know me to see an attitude change in me. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worst, but I guess like any personal change or transformation, it would be an impact and I hope for the better for all involved.

I would want all the parts of my life omitted. It would be wrong to exclude certain things of my life . To only put the good parts of my life people would only see me as perfect and only to put my bad parts of my life people would only see me as someone who would want sympathy.
So I rather spare the judgment and put all the parts of my life good or bad in my biography and I would hope they would help someone or not.

Congrats Leaka Wink

There is this marvelous song "Imagine" It's what I would imagine would have to be the perfect world. So, here's my question.

2) What is your thoughts on the 'perfect' world, do you think this perfect world is even possible, and is there such a thing as perfect in the first place with all the different views from people all over?

I do not think there is a such thing as a perfect world. With a perfect world there would be no flaws and people would be pretty much the same.
No one wants to live in a world were everyone agrees with them all the time, they may say they want a life like that, but truth is if they really lived that world they would dislike it and would want everyone to disagree.
There is no such thing as a perfect world, the world was never evolved that way it was evolved with flaws and it must have been evolved like this for a reason.
[Hope that made sense]

3) Are you really serious about your writing? If so, what would you consider to be your strongest skill for writing and what do you consider your weakest? If not, then what could you see yourself doing instead of writing?

I am serious about my writing, I love to create and express and escape, but mmm lately I have lost confidence in my writing and I've been taken it very personal. I can't consider I have any strengths or weakness at the moment because lately I have not been able to write as good as I use.
I guess back then I was really good at description.

Well one of the worse things that happened to me was my grandfather died. I just wrote all my emotions away. I don't think that particular event made me lose my trust in anyone.
It was all the bullying children did and people saying their were my friends and then leaving me at that moment in time, made me lose trust in people.

I might be able to survive a deserted island, I've read a lot of survival books.
And I don't really need anyone, I'm a loner by nature so yeah, I think I would be able to survive.

(I was asked along the same line question somewhere along the line, but okay dokey)

The most important life lesson I have learned so far, is that I can't change anybody's mind. Because everyone thinks they are right even when they are wrong. And that also goes to not correcting people either.
