In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you want to write a song about a specific subject, sit in a quiet place and clear your mind. Think about your subject matter, or look at it if it's an object, image, or environment. Allow it to fill your emotions, and try to put your experience into words. Suppose you just had a great first date and feel like writing a song about it. Clear your mind, replay the night in your head, and let your thoughts and feelings percolate. Don't filter your thoughts or try to force yourself to write down words. Just focus on putting yourself in the moment and letting it fuel your emotions. If you get inspired and words do come to mind, write them freely without making any edits. Let your creative juices flow when you're washing the dishes, taking a shower, driving, or going for a walk. Think about a memory, person, or emotion, or just clear your thoughts and be open to any ideas that float to the surface. If an idea for a song, melody, or lyric comes to you, write it down or record yourself using a cell phone app. Read song lyrics from a variety of genres and time periods. Take note of how artists structured verses and choruses, rhyme schemes, and rhythmic patterns. Identify the tone, notice devices like similes and metaphors, and ask yourself who the artist's words are addressing. Look for similarities and differences across genres and periods. Use your insights to inform your own tastes, set your musical goals, and decide the type of song you want to write. For instance, contemporary pop tracks are typically catchy, simple, and make use of repetition. Many alternative hip hop lyrics are rhythmically and thematically complex, while country lyrics often aim to tell a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Immerse yourself in a classic album, riveting novel, striking painting, or brilliant film. Put yourself within the work of art's story or moment. Let it play out in your mind and trigger your emotions. If you have a particular theme in mind, look to works of art with similar tones. For instance, listening to love songs or watching a romantic drama can help you get inspired if you want to write a love song of your own. If you think better in images than words, make quick doodles or sketch a scene or feeling. Look back at your drawings and think about what's going on in the images in front of you. Even nonsense doodles can add colorful details to song lyrics. Suppose you drew a stick figure trying to balance an elephant, piano, and sofa on top of each other. You could use that image as a metaphor or simile in a song about dealing with tons of pressure.
Summary: Visualize the message, theme, or moment that you want to capture. Allow your mind to wander while you're doing routine tasks. Analyze other artist's lyrics and song structures. Look for inspiration in music, literature, film, and other art forms. Draw pictures and imagine stories about your sketches.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before jumping in hands first, evaluate the pads you will need to remove. Remember that less is more. Cutting away too much at once can also hurt the plant if it is relying on the water and sunlight that those sections provide. If the plant is quite large, plan ahead by choosing the section you will start on. You may uncover more work as you cut away, but having a general idea of what you are planning to cut is best. You will be removing entire pads, not just portions of a pad. Make sure that this does not cut away more than you intend. If you are not able to safely reach the section to prune, do not attempt it. A ladder can sometimes assist in getting to a hard-to-reach portion or change your angle in order to easily reach what you need. You will be starting from the outer edges and working your way in, as necessary. For this type of cactus, you want to make cuts at the joints near the base of the pads. Methodically cut a pad, setting it to the side safely, and continue. From the outer edges, work your way inward, cutting just enough to either remove all dead or diseased portions or get the look you are wanting. Do not simply cut across a pad to remove a section. This will kill the pad regardless and require additional pruning. For aesthetic pruning, you may need to cut a pad or two at a time and then step away to see the progress. This can help to prevent over-pruning.
Summary: Locate the pads to be cut away. Start in a safe-to-reach section. Prune just enough to achieve your goal.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Move plants and items to different areas of the tank. This will create a whole new playground for your goldfish to play and explore. New items, such as new plants or items at the bottom of the tank, will give the fish new things to explore and interact with. Remember to only add items that are safe for the tank though, so go to your aquarium store and buy something new. Playing with your goldfish while you feed it is a good opportunity to train it and give it mental stimulation. In fact, goldfish can even be trained to ring a bell for food. This provides stimulation and fun for the goldfish. Interacting with your goldfish is especially important if it is the only fish in your tank. The interaction will give it stimulation that it's not getting from other fish. In order to keep your goldfish happy and healthy, you should strive to not scare or disturb it as much as possible. Doing things like tapping on the glass or putting your hand in the tank unnecessarily scares your goldfish, which puts stress on its health. Fish that are scared will go to hiding places in their tank. If you want to see your beautiful fish swimming around, don't scare them into hiding.
Summary:
Rearrange the tank during your monthly cleaning. Add new items to the tank. Interact with your goldfish while feeding it. Never purposely scare your goldfish.
