WRITING OBSTACLE
Write about a place only by describing what is not there.
Usually it is important to note the things that are present in an environment – so try focusing on the abscences to see if we can envisage your setting.

No one knows its truth. The stories to be told only come through dreams and prayer. Life exists no more here. There is no more hate or hurt, but also no more healing or happiness. For those longing of this place, their pain will be lost. For those that arrive too soon, the lack of preparation will show.
How do I know so much of a place I have never been? I may have not been, but I know many who ...
Here there is no concrete
No cars whizzing by me
No horns scorning silence
No opinions being broadcast
No fighting with one’s demons
No gritty scenes of spirits dying
No decay of once proud buildings
No hungry souls diving dumpsters
No regret of what came before now
No fear of what could be
I’m in the present quiet
Only beauty surrounds me
I am at ease in the company of trees...
The walls are completely white. No pictures showing my sister and me as small children, playing in a swimming pool or riding on a colorful little trail.
The floor has been freshly put down, a gleaming parquet with no dents or scratches from pushing that old piano through the living room or accidentally dropping a log in front of the fireplace.
The rooms are completely empty and my steps echo as ...
There is no doom scrolling, no app delivery services, and certainly no influencers of any kind. No extremely left, extremely right, or extremely annoying shall enter. There is no rushed pace, nowhere to be, and not a cloud in the sky. Anything that deteriorates our brains and bodies will not be allowed access (cancer, genetically engineered food, Bachelor In Paradise). Religion is a bad word. Dres...
There are no tears here. No pressure in my chest or darkness. When I walk through the streets, no crime or bad people reach me. There is no silence carried with me like before.
My limbs have no weight to them. Nothing holds my body back as it moves and jumps. Emptiness is nowhere in sight. All I can see is the fact that there is no loneliness.
I am not cold or bored. There is nothing in my chest...
This place isn’t home, it’s not where I was born,
It’s not where I grew up, and for that, I’m forlorn.
Upon my first visit, I was moved by this place,
No hoards of people crowd this incredible space.
It’s nothing like the desert, barren and hot,
Oh, to live here, was my very first thought.
Something deep insides pulls on my heart,
It tells me to move here and just restart.
While it has riv...
Have you ever witnessed a performance
And
Nobody was the audience
But you
You
And you
Alone
The Call
The Response
I danced
I sang
I lifted my hands in joy
I Rocked the heavens high
Energy ebb
Energy flow
I got the music in me
And nobody to impede
My glow
A soul performance
God and self
The only witness
But
The mirror
Watches
With silent applause

Her dog was not there to be fed or let out or to jump onto the bed and nuzzle her. He wasn’t there to push against her, taking more space.
Her bedside lamp wasn’t there to her left but the room was bright enough as it was, even though the sun hadn’t risen.
There were no soft curtains to temper sounds or plush carpet to pad her feet to the bathroom. And there was no way to lock the bathroom door....
When I woke up
There was no TV
No dresser no nice clothes or anything else
That was in my room at home. I was greeted by a man with a deep voice and a blue shirt and black pants on.
Count time mother fucker
He said as he opened the door to this new and unfamiliar place
I wasn’t sure what I was to do
Or if I was dreaming or not
Then he said it again
Get the fuck out here, it’s count t...
