She sat inside the cold room in the middle of the night, while others are sound asleep. Plugged in her ears, & seeping through her affections is a song of kindred sentiment on an almost unending loop. As if to silence what was an already serene atmosphere. Around her was a consistently intermittent ticking sound, not of the traditional clock, but of every key she patiently presses on her keyboard. Earnestly working on what she thought could be used for her personal improvement as a writer.

A warm light on the corner of the room, and another one hanging near the dark blue blackout curtain in front of her desk, both suggesting a blend of sweet and warm rest for the evening. She dares not glance at the back to resist the allurement of some of the warm lights' most powerful accomplices -- the pillow-filled bed with those snuggly Tiffany blue and floral pink blankets.

Passion drives her firm determination to extend the completion of what she started. Yet in the midst of her resistance, the small unassuming digital clock at the far-end of her computer screen subtly snatched her gaze from the manuscript. Coupled with a feeling of physical exhaustion from a full day of communicating with her 21 hopeful clients, she started to wonder how long her written piece would end.

The blessed song continues to play, still with much effect to her heart. The calm ambience of the place faithfully calls her to sleep, to the restoration of her vigor for the next day. She looks at the piece astonished that she had written more than what she hoped for from the time she first cluelessly started. Thrilled and filled with thankfulness to the source of her strength and the author of all things, she is most-ready to retire from the day.

I read an article about how to become a better writer. The suggested activity at the end of the article is a challenge for me since the way of writing is not something I got used to. But I felt excited to apply what was learned. So above is my meager attempt to put those principles to use.
I hope that made your imagination work. Any writing tips? :)
