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.

All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart,
And for us to be together, to never be apart.

No one else in the world can even compare,
You're perfect and so is this love that we share.

We have so much more than I ever thought we would,
I love you more than I ever thought I could.

I promise to give you all I have to give,
I'll do anything for you as long as I live.

In your eyes I see our present, our future and past,
By the way you look at me I know we will last.

I hope that one day you'll come to realize,
How perfect you are when seen through my eyes.

Ah, a poem that I can relate to. I am just not into non-rhyming poetry. Being a writer of prose, I feel that non-rhyming poetry is just people too lazy to develop a scene and characters while also being too lazy to choose the right words.

I am not saying that your other poems are not good, but I just don't connect to the presentation. Doing something like this however lets me (and other simplistic poetry people) know that you truly can do poetry. Thank you.

It does rhyme. It does a consistent theme. It does have a consistent meter. Biff, Bam, Pow - no argument, solid poem.

Thank you Terish. Yes I know what you mean by saying what you said about non-rhyming poems. I don't think that it is laziness though. There are some poems I think sound better non-rhyming than rhyming.

Sometimes the rhyming can take away from the actual poem, especially when you have to switch words around just so it rhymes at the end. Makes 'em stiff some times.
