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.

Food Banks.
There is a cloister up north where you can knock on its oak door
and get food parcels. The abbot, a stern man, will give you food if
you are nicely dressed, have a house, band are briefly out of pockets.
If you are really destitute and dressed in rags- often of Roma
origin- he will tell you no because your need is self inflicted, but you
can, if not too lazy, go to the winter field and dig up roots; he will
bless you and say you are god´s children, go to heaven without a trial
and sit by the lord´s side.

If you are old he will also say no, because you have money
under the mattress and only pretend to be poor so you don´t have
to spend your own money, but he will bless you before kicking
you down hill with gentle smile. Once there were food banks in every
town, but now they are hard to find and far away, this because
the rich will no longer pay for you extravagance.
