To Write, You Must Observe
Being a good observer contributes to being a good writer. Taking the time to observe the world around you help to stimulate a good sense of what to write about and what could be put to paper. I find that observing people, animals, or just nature without distractions can stimulate your ability to process possible ideas whether for poetry, stories, or for articles. You can draw both hypotheses and conclusions from you observe the world around you. It allows you to come up with scenarios or storylines just from seeing what’s going on around you.

Elias had dedicated his life to crafting exquisite violins, each with its own unique voice.

Disability
What you see is someone convulsing on the ground, grunting in pain and gasping for air. Lack of control of limbs and the violence those limbs become. "Is she dead?" they ask as they see the person on the ground, and another consoling them as they continue to struggle. "They can hear you" is the response The Person Who Cares gives. But does that really matter? I mean, even conscious, I was never taken into account. It's only ever been what is seen, never actually knowing beyond the surface.

What's that Azure Light?
What's that Azure Light? Creativity, a etheramal puzzle, a delicate art where people are drawn to discovering each piece. A procedure follows that discovery and it usually takes a few moments to fly the puzzle piece in your hands to the perfect place. Hands crippled in quivering excitement, moments pressed to death as I dangled from a cliff, the lifeline was a scientifically tested rope, said to be able to hold two tons of metal. It felt like it could hardly hold two pounds.
