WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a description of something (anything!) containing a word beginning with each letter of the alphabet.
This should be fun and creative; don't worry about using the letters in order or for every word you write. Try to use less common words and think of new ways to describe things.

Silently, she sat in the dark room, listening to the sound of the rain, falling outside. It was not cascading down. This rain was not a harsh one. Untame was not how she would describe it. Wild was not an appropriate adjective, either. Rather, this rain was the opposite, she decided, as she listened to it gently tapping on the roof, above her. Like music to her ears, it was lulling her back into an early morning slumber. Calming, she decided, after racking her brain for the perfect word was the best way to describe the sound she heard. Yes.
Noises, certain ones, at least, are more harsh than others. Guns can be startling, for some listeners. Ammunition, interestingly enough, can both incite and dismantle fear, depending on the person and the circumstances. Bees, buzzing and bumbling about, can be relentlessly annoying. Deafness, even, can leave a constant ringing in the ear. Fire, crackling and generating heat, can make the most grounded folk startle with an unexpected pop. Honks, sounding from automobiles, can forewarn of anger and danger. Jolting noises can force you to either focus or lose your train of thought. Quick whistles, particularly familiar ones, can point you in the direction you need to go. Xerox machines, with their constant humming, can be maddening. Zippers, providing closure and protection, can be either calming or frightening, depending on whether you’re prepared for the fact that sometimes, they break, and like life, you may find yourself locked in, unable to breath, and yet, incapable of an escape.
Perhaps sitting in the dark room, listening to the calming sound of the noise, gently falling outside, was exactly what she needed to hear in that moment, before preparing for the day ahead of her. Often times, the boisterous booms she hears from the world outside are thunderous. Knowing that she had the opportunity to sit indoors, cozily curled up in a warm blanket, was the perfect way to start her day. Exciting was not how she would describe the sound she heard, as the moisture fell from the ominous sky above. Measured and careful was more accurate, in fact. Very pleasing and considerate, rather, was the rain.
Truly comprehending the universe requires seeing it wholly - and that doesn't mean peering at its atoms as though through a microscope or x-ray. It means taking a new perspective, adopting a broad look which allows you to zero in on the emotional threads connecting the galaxy. From the highest mountain to the smallest ant, from the farthest star to the nearest companion, from the loudest to the quietest, from pauper to king - whatever venture we undertake, we all share this universe. Just remember that.
“Wow,” I say, staring at the marvellous masterpiece in front of me. “What an abstract, beautiful, colourful, dashing, enchanting, fair, great, happy, intriguing, jolly, keen, luxurious, magnificent, nice, overwhelmingly perfect, quality, really stupendous, tremendous, under-appreciated, very well made, xenas, youthful, zebra.”
A hero who cries Behind their laughter. Countless battle-worn children Deliriously stumbling through life. Every drop of blood that has Fallen from our veins Gave us the power to Hold on when the child In our souls needed a break from being the Jester, the one that needs to Kid to feel like a kid, to keep on Living. Maybe this is too dark, a Narrator who got a bit Overzealous in his descriptions of the People he sees every day, of the Queens, Kings, and various monarchs whose Reigns have fallen prey to the Shadowy thoughts that lurk just beyond The imagination, and just before the Unknown crevices we avoid with Vigilance. Well, maybe that’s the case, just the Xerotic bits of an artist’s brain trying to Yield something that’s a bit less Zany than what they’d usually want to write.
What’s there to say about Margo and I? Well you’d be surprised how frivolously we got along. Being as different as two stray cats who happened upon one another. Meowing, purring, fighting. No, not perfect. Not easy. Nervously laughing til the end. But jokes aside we weren’t meant to be the kind rolling down flower petal lined carpets together. Not that we were quitters. Just used to skating on thin ice, briefly dashing down the same track. So it wasn’t Xtra Xtra read all about it news when one day the mirage of our love vanished into the zilch it always was to begin with.
Always know just who you are Because your number one Can you see your dreams Dreams do come true Every time you act on them Fortune can come your way Great to know your #1 Hold your head up high In the presents of everyone Just believe in who you are Keep doing what you know Live and learn and you will grow Monies fills your bank No one knows the goals you have Only you and only you Pray and know that God’s with you Queen of hearts you are Rest assured your not alone Special we all know you are Today tomorrow and everyday United we will stand Victory you will succeed Working woman dreams come true Xenial, always be a nice woman Your not second best to anyone Zappy always be energetic and sharpe
