The streets were deserted. Where was everyone? Where had they all gone?

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.

ok so hii my names skembri, i own forums and i am an admin of a few, i am in the midst of creating mmorpg with a huge team, its pretty cool. urm i love writting lyics, i ussualyy write rap, that ussually contains swearing so i cant upload some of it, i have some anger issues caused by abuse from my dad sine i was born, and up to 2 years ago when i was 13, most of my lyrics are based around that, such as my song warzone:


no self confidence in me
no love left
the hatred of the feeling free
scared of what you might see
the unexpectancy of what u might be
in the future, or if it comes
dont do sumin incase u do it wrong
the fear of you own father
getting deeper and further
in the manipulation, rather
than seeing the carver
the blacksmith of his heart
black and twisted, no lover
how can u stand to be that man
so sik and fucked no cover
no excuse nor way out
not even god cud help the other
the evil part of every soul
controlled by the ghoul
the sacred urn a paying toll
looking evil like sum troll

Well, hi.

Excuses are excuses and bad stuff is bad stuff. Internalizing is not good, but neither is it good to display it. The trick is to make lemonade of lemons, and grow flowers in manure. That is what makes you a better person, and has you appear to be a better person.

Glad that you found poetry. Glad that you came here. Hope to keep seeing you around.

Rap IS poetry. It might be free verse, but it is still poetry. Also, rap is actually a modern version of a fugue. Don't think you are so unique. Settle and accept that you are a part of the continuing story of life. We all have troubles, we all face problems, but we all try to rise above them. Again, glad to have you here.

Hi skembri and welcome to the forums.

You have a good point with what you're saying about cursing. Most forums don't allow users to curse but sometimes there just aren't any other ways then to say what you have to say. We have a section on our forum just for lyrics. So check that out.

I am really looking forward to reading your stuff.
