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.

He told me that he'd toss and turned all night

Somehow I'd climbed my way through his soul

But once I arrived he didn't put up a fight

Because all he ever wanted was me to hold

But I told him I'm leaving in a month

To search for what life had to offer

A single tear; he turned his back

He walked away and left me in silence

Throughout the day I ponder a stay

But I can't hold back now...

I found a note taped to my office door

Tear stained ink bleed through the envelope

The words were loud and clear

Same words I said to the one before

Somehow I completed him

And he's not willing to let go..

Dance with me upon a butterfly wings

One night where nothing else matters

A wrapped tango on moonlit floors

In search of the hidden pleasures

Soar with me upon an eagles wings

Higher and higher the course

We'll go around the world in minutes

Penetrated with only loves force

Ride with me upon a great stallion

Nothing but earth high and low

Watch as the world goes by

And the skies will shout forth

His arms were wrapped around me

His breath upon my ear

The whisper of sweet nothings

But of him everything I hear

This is my journey unto another place

Dance with me upon a butterflies wing

The birds will sing melodies of our embrace

See what the soar, search and ride will bring

I looked into his eyes so brown

And filled with such emotion

His words in my head I let go round

But it was only a notion

In a month I'm leaving

If only to see what this change brings

In myself I'm believing

Moving on to bigger and better things

Reading your poems always lets me feel the emotions you put into it. You can say so many things and put so many emotions in one single poem, which in my opinion is just fascinating. Great work!
