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 man who sold his soul

I can’t let go of Christopher Higgins yet, not that I knew him,
but I have read a couple of his books – not impressed- he is
not an author. A very erudite man with a photographic mind
He could remember everything he had read at University,
and that is impressive and on occasion he used his scholarship
prowess to dazzle an opponent to stammering silence.
But I have been watching man you tube programs of his act
or performance and it struck me one day he has no depths
and he is also an intellectual opportunist who realized which
side of the slice of bread to but the butter on.
He was a man who defected from his own youthful promises
Who sang like a joker and received accolade, because he only
0Raged against the has been – like Kissinger- no one likes him
A mild criticism of the foreskin cutting Jewish practice, but he
reserved his venom to the Arab world which it became clear
he had only bookish knowledge. He had a good life in America
and seduced by its naivety he continued unsteady journey
