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.

The god, Bad and the Ugly

Every war has good people and bad people and many of
the bad are on our side. I remember the German occupation
of Norway living on a farm with a German military camp.
I met their soldiers and most of them only wanted to go home
to their families. The peace came and when the said soldiers
Who had been kind to me – a little boy- were marched out
among the jeering of the people who suddenly felt heroic
enough to throw stones at the soldiers. I have a tendency to feel
for the losers they fought on the wrong side and lost
their dignity. But there are times when one has to take a stand.
When I aired my views I was told to shut up by a man who had
supplied them with meat and potatoes, he was a bad person,
and the biggest rock but in a democracy we have to live with his
kind. I say this because the young men going to war In Syria or
elsewhere, might be wrong, but many of them are good people
who think they fight for delusory freedom of all Muslims
