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.

Dictators and the disagreeable

We sit in the bar, we the insecure here we are masters of
our own dreams...tomorrow, always next day and never in the morning.
People who have to stop drinking often develop peculiar fads,
like defending Hitler. Mind it is easy to blame on and excuse the rest.
Once Hitler was a child, his mother dried his tears.
It is much easier to get an obsession concerning the pope or Obama,
the first black President, to defend his record or lack of it is easy and one
will have many followers on twitter or facebook. And on can also
bask in the warm glow of popularity and admire his close circle of advisers.
I have taken I have taken a shine to Saddam Hussein lately his brutality was
saner than the so called democracy few people in the Middle East want,
but we are not listening to the majority, but only to western educated stooges.
I have never met a nice dictator, but some of them have turned
out to be quite wise.
