The streets were deserted. Where was everyone? Where had they all gone?

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 woke up with a thousand tears
A hurt he can’t describe
He tried to fight away the fears
A gun found hid inside

He grabbed a bullet, just needed one
And loaded it into the gun
He thought for almost way to long
So he put on his favorite song

He started thinking about the past
Pain, the tears then fell
He thought then maybe they would see
If he sent himself to hell

But then he realized they won't care
He cocked the gun with great despair
He knew he’d have to do this right
He couldn’t miss his target tonight

He dialed up a girl he knew
To see just one last time
He thought that love and angels flew
She didn’t give a dime

He tried to contact friends to talk
But as he called; his phone they’d block
He threw his phone onto the floor
No one gave a shit anymore

He put the barrel in his mouth with fear
It pointed at his brain
His last thought was, “What if they hear,”
It ridded him his pain
The gun fell to the floor with a letter near
A lifeless body, no longer insane

“This is to who gives a shit
I hope that I, you’ll soon forget
I cannot fight this love discrete
So burry me, the dirt, six feet
Mom and Dad and Joe and Sue
I hope you know I love you too
I cannot take this pain I feel
It seems just too unreal
I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed
Don’t think that I’m mistreated
Don’t think that I did this for attention
Attention I won't get
I’m gone for good and good I’m gone
I hope that I, you’ll soon forget”

That note shocked us of love and all
On that day we got that call
He didn’t do it for the pity
He knew he’d be gone and for that he’s witty
He didn’t do it for no care
He did it because no one was there
He lost the love and all he had
A lovely death that went so bad

What happened, Snacker? Did you just give up on it?

It has a story, but that is about all. The meter jumps around terribly. The rhymes are not all there. As stated above, I have the impression that you got the idea, began to work on it, then simply quit without working to finish things properly.

It could have been good.

I got to agree with TerishD. It started off strong, but it short of fell apart in the middle.
