Q: The first step to virtually any kind of writing is to know your audience. The audience of your creative writing can determine the topic that you choose to write about.  Ask yourself what your audience would be interested in reading. Think about what may surprise or shock your audience. If you are unsure about your actual audience, create a fictional reader in your mind.  You could even give your fictional reader a name. Writing about what is interesting to you will help your writing flow more easily, help you generate fresh content, and lead to a better final product. It matters less what you freewrite about than that you do it.  Pick a situation that seems interesting to you: perhaps a person is lost in the desert, or perhaps they are waiting to find out if they have an illness, or perhaps they are trying to decide whether to tell someone they are in love. Then, freewrite based on that situation, thinking about what might happen, what they might be thinking, conversations they might have, etc.  Write nonstop for a predetermined amount of time (most people do 10-15 minutes.) Do not stop writing, even if you need to just write “blah blah blah” in the middle of a sentence. Hopefully, you will write yourself towards a useful thought or idea through freewriting.  Even if it does not give you content you can use in your creative writing, it can be a valuable warm-up. There are whole books of writing prompt ideas for creative writing, and several websites that contain lists of prompts.  Treat the prompt as a beginning point but don’t be afraid to leave the topic of the prompt. Check your library for a book of prompts so that you don’t have to buy one. Keep a list of ideas of things to write about on you all the time.  If you think of an idea, write it down.  Go to your working list any time you feel like you need help coming up with a topic. Your environment contains a rich array of items that can serve as writing prompts, so just look around and write about something that you see.  Close your eyes, then open them and write about the first thing you see, regardless of what it is. Look at the color of something nearby, and write a list of other things that are the same color until you feel inspired. Look at an item near you and try to remember the last time you saw a similar item.  Who were you with? What were you doing? Then write a story, real or fictional, about that memory. Find a unique item in your line of sight, then imagine that you are seeing it for the first time.  Write about someone from a different culture seeing the item for the first time out of context and speculating about what it is used for.
A: Identify your audience. Know what interests you. Freewrite about something. Consult a list of writing prompts. Keep an idea list. Look around you.

Article: Wood is harvested from trees, and planks can be made from the wood using the crafting table. Wood is a great basic material because it is cheap and easy to find in many biomes. Stone is a common block, largely found underground and making up mountains. If mined using pickaxe, you can get cobblestone instead, which looks slightly different. You can even make a basic stone generator (using glass, lava, and water), if you don't feel like mining for stone or cobblestone. Quartz comes from building a Nether Reactor in Minecraft PE. This makes the blocks expensive in Survival Mode, but if you want to bring some white color into your buildings, it's the best way. Sand is a common natural block, usually found near water or in desert biomes. This is an easy way to add beige into your color scheme and it's cheap if you're not wanting to invest too much time. Coal is a material that you'll have to mine, but it's pretty common. This is the easiest way to bring black into your color scheme. Remember that you'll have to smelt the coal from ore, and the original blocks look very much like spotted cobblestone. Don't miss them!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Gather wood and wood planks. Get some stone or cobblestone. Get some quartz. Gather some sand. Get some coal.

Problem: Article: If you simply grab onto the slack end of your rope and start to swing, the tension in the rope will pull the loop in your lasso shut before you can throw it. So, it's important to use a grip that keeps your lasso wide open as you twirl it and build momentum. Hold your lasso as directed below:  Make a nice, big loop by feeding slack through your Honda knot. Lay a foot or two of the leftover slack rope next to your loop. Grab the loop and the length of slack rope together. This should create a "doubled-up" length of rope between the Honda knot and your hand. This doubled-up portion is called the "shank." Point your index finger down the shank towards the Honda knot for added control. Once it's around whatever you're trying to lasso, pull hard on the rope.This will pull the slack in the loop through the Honda knot, tightening the lasso around whatever object is inside it. Never use a lasso on people or animals unless you're an experienced roper - unsafe lasso use can cause suffocation or damage to the throat. It's also difficult or impossible for someone (or something) to remove a lasso without help, so don't run this risk unless you know what you're doing.
Summary: Hold your lasso. Tighten the lasso to grab your target.

Q: Use 320-grit sandpaper to sand down any areas where the paint is peeling and/or the wood is splintering. Clean up the scratched area so that you can patch it rather than piecing it back together. If the wood is significantly splintered, wear heavy gloves while sanding to avoid injuring yourself. Squeeze or spread a small dollop of wood filler over each scratch on your door. Use your finger or a putty knife to spread the filler around and press it into the scratches. Try to achieve a smooth finish that is even and level with the rest of the door. Wood filler is available online or from your local hardware store. It will either come premixed in a tube or in 2 separate parts that need to be combined before using it. Follow the instructions on your wood filler for the best results. The filler needs to set up and fully adhere to the wood in order for it to repair the door. Once you have pressed filler into all of the scratches, leave it for 15 to 20 minutes to dry fully, until it is completely solid to the touch. Check the instructions on your wood filler for more information on expected drying times. Once the filler has dried, use very fine grit sandpaper to sand down previously scratched area. Work in smooth, deliberate strokes to remove any excess wood filler and flatten the surface of the door. Painting over the sanded area will make any irregular bumps more obvious. Run your hand over the area you patched with wood filler to catch any areas that need more sanding and smoothing. Sanding the wood and paint around the scratched area can produce a significant amount of dust and debris that can ruin the look of the repaired door. Dampen a clean cloth or a paper towel and lightly wipe down the area to clean up any dust left behind.
A:
Use very fine grit sandpaper to remove loose splinters and paint. Apply a generous coat of wood filler to the scratched area. Leave the filler to dry for 15 to 20 minutes. Sand down the wood filler with 320-grit sandpaper. Clean the area with a damp paper towel or sponge.
