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.

Stop them Now
I have an itch it breaks out in a red rash, been to the doctor
who says I’m suffering from an attack of Islam- phobia which
manifest itself with a strong antipathy against people who
drink sweet tea and not are willing to swill beer like us.
They also dress strange when going to the mosque, that is
ok, it only when they talk about Shari laws I feel as they are
trying to convert us to their way of thinking.
This is my country too I do not want it taken over by people
who represent another culture.
That is why I protest and march in the street, it is not about
Anti- Semitic, Anti- whatever feelings I, like my friends, are not
for bending to a way of life that is alien to us. We did not
have a revolution to let a group of fundamentalist be given
or handed over to a group of nutcases.
