The author stared at the blank screen. "Okay, whew, another block party is upon us. What shall we do this go around? We've done a bonus story. We've done character interviews. Hmm, haven't done a general advice piece before. Yeah, something to inspire the aspiring author. A noteworthy endeavor! What could we talk about? Maybe writing strong female characters? How to write monsters that make your readers twitchy?"
As the author pondered, a crack appeared in the wall behind her. Between pen nibbles and hair twists the crack crept up the wall and, against all logic and reason, the crack made an abrupt ninety degree turn before it continued. By this time, the author noticed the sound behind her. She turned to look at the ever growing crack, taking a definitive shape as it abruptly turned at another ninety degree angle, heading back to the floor. Not a crack, a door. The author sighed. Surely this would nix her security deposit.

This possibility was further solidified as the "doorway" flopped forward with a deafening crash, the worn carpet futilely trying to muffle the sound. Drywall dust filled the air, making the author sneeze repeatedly. Through watering eyes, she spotted a figure equally incapacitated by dust. When it finally settled, the two looked at each other before the author folds her arms over her chest.
"Couldn't you use the front door? I even have a doorbell. A lonely unused doorbell. I am not cleaning this up!"
The woman waves dust out of her face, glancing from the mess on the carpet to the door across the room with a slightly guilty expression before she shrugged.
"My aim was off."
The author sputtered. "That's all you have to say for yourself?"
"Hey I am new at this gig. No judgy!" She pointed a dust covered finger at the author before jabbing it at the computer behind her. "Nevermind that, I made it just in time. What do you mean you're doing an advice piece? You always feature characters from something you are working on."
