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 Kiss of Death

He was not a smart thief, nevertheless good at opening locks,
but often leaving finger prints behind, he was the one who
ended up in prison…. And when he was told that in an empty
villa where the owners had gone to Spain to avoid the cold,
he decided to go it alone. Breaking in, easy and the painting
“The Kiss” by Munch, hung there on the wall. It got very cold
and snowy, but he could not lit a fire, in case neighbours noticed
and pay a visit; there was no food in the house…. Three day later,
driven by hunger and cold, he tucked the painting under his
arm and went to his car which was snowed in and he didn´t
have a spade so he used the painting to clear the car. The picture
broke in half but still he thought it was valuable.
Finally in the car he tried to start, but the battery was flat, tired
from cold and hunger he fell in the longest sleep; when found
there was a broken, fake Munch painting by his side.
