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.

Death of a Tyrant

They got him in the end, not a pretty sight, dictators are human too.
Now we are hunting his many sons and the rest of his family
We have seen their photo album they sit on sofas smiling kindly to
the camera, just like us on a happy day. We have not evolved our
lack of empathy is intact but we still want to destroy a family, blood
thirsty ogres we are gloating over a suffering face as a man dies.
Instant justice, easier that way, the family, might have much to tell
about us and so it goes on when our side, men in silk suit and soft
hands, kill the perceived foe we see nothing, but a trail of blood and
injustice will one day lead to our doorsteps. But why think about this
Bloomberg and other channels dedicated to money are busy telling
us about stocks and shares, the important thing in the world and in
the end blood too can be turned into cash.
