Continued.
You want to pick out the sadness of the situation, individually pick out every tear, lengthen out the moment, to give room for the moods of the characters sitting by the *eathbed. And then, as the man dies, structure it out very carefully. What I did when killing off a character that wasn't quite a main character, but was more important than a second character, is I first described how he died. This can be very short. Simply tell of the killer, and how he raised the sword in his hands before plunging it into the victim, or the assassin, raising the gun from a distance, holding his finger on the trigger, and pulling. Or cancer. Slowly attacking the victim until his or her heart finally stops ticking. Then I described the feeling of slipping away from the physical world. The feeling of descending away from everybody there, slipping away from the world. Breaking apart from reality. No dark, no light, no colour, nothing. Then I described the mental world, the last thoughts that person has. The realization that it will all go away, soon that he or she will know no more.
Anyway, thanks for reading, if you did, I hope you choose to use this in your thread.

I've updated the color selection.
Level, your piece will be used with additions by some others, we think. Unless, of course, you want to beef it up. Making a more detailed post would help greatly. Either way, you can choose.
Futile, Poller has to get off now, so we're sorry but we can't add in yours quite yet. Probably will happen tomorrow.

Would anyone think that a "Get-Out-of-Writer's-Block" Guide could be useful to this thread? ( :P ) I never have 'Writer's Block', really, and I figure that I could come up with a few tips ...

We're thinking of a "Writer's Block" post to be added somewhere. ^_^
OHS - The FAQ stuff, mainly. And then touch ups.
Futile - We'll get it in there soon.
English - :P Level - Thanks!
