Writing Tip
Our monthly writing tips are written by our very own TerishD. You can read more in Terish's Blog located in "The Abstractions" area of the forum.

Look Back

When not able to write ahead, it helps to look back. In my case I had written a paragraph ahead of the story. What I needed to do was add a section of exposition (talking) presenting some facts. In going back, I realized that I could insert a section where a 'tour' of the surroundings could be done. This allowed for character interaction, story development, and other things that enabled me to present the facts in an entertaining manner.

One should not face a writer's block with the mentality of bursting through it. I have found in my own experience that a writer's block is usually due to my mind indicating that it has a problem in 'channeling' the story. One reason might be a re-imagining of certain story points. Another reason however is that there is a problem in where you are at in the story, so you need to look back and find out the problem with the 'journey' that prevents the tale from advancing.

When you listen in the night
and you see the moon shine bright
You can hear the melody of arts
that's the song in our hearts

Our souls are connected
our love finally perfected
With every single touch we feel
it becomes more and more real

The candles soft glare
highlights the passion we share
And you can hear our hearts beating
when our eyes are meeting

The minutes become hours
while we're surrounded by flowers
Just you and me in this room
let this night resume

Lets spoil each other
with kisses we smother
skin on skin we lay
forever here to stay

When the sun begins to rise
and we look into each others eyes
There's the only thing we can hear
that let roll down a tear
when we hear how it starts
The song in our hearts

Beautiful!

There are a few things that should be taken care of . The line...

That let roll down a tear (Yeah I know this isn't the critique area but still...) isn't good grammar. It breaks apart your entire poem. What I would do is turn this into a song. Use the last line to create a bridge to be repeated after the first and last verse because the last verse is the problem. It has five lines instead of four which you carried throughout the entire piece. You can fix this but in the mean time, its wonderful.
