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 Baby Elephant.

A three month old elephant baby died in a German zoo,
it was heart rendering to see how the adult animals
mourned its demise; and many good people shed tears.
Yet, my thoughts went to the thousands of children who
die through, starvation, illness and neglect every year.
Some of them are buried in mass graves other in a hole
dug in the sand. No picture of them published on the net.
And they will forever go unnoticed by the modern world.
Only exist in a mother’s heart of a loss to immense for,
words to express when the newborn looked into his
mother’s eyes and its first cry was the sweetest music,
that made the humblest abode into a palace of delight.
