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.

The purpose of the Research Lab forum is to give our members a place to post any pressing questions they might have about topics they are researching, in the hopes that some other member(s) will be able to give them a hand in their research; either with an answer or a lead on where the answer may be found. Users are also welcome to make posts sharing any tidbits of information they've discovered through the course of their own paths of research which they think might be useful or interesting.

Like a Star @ heaven Posts may be about any subject or subject matter, but we do ask that they retain the same level of decorum and respect for others our members have come to expect elsewhere on these forums. The general rule of thumb here is, if your question/post contains material or is about a subject others on the board might find uncomfortable or offensive you should put some sort of content warning in the title and/or at the very top of the body of your post. This is not to censor anyone, but to give those who simply don't want to read certain types of posts a heads up.

Like a Star @ heaven This forum is not a research service. We make no guarantees all questions will or can be answered.

Like a Star @ heaven The owners and moderators of this forum do not validate the authenticity of any of the information provided by our posters. The use of any information contained herein is at your own risk. You are responsible for conducting your own fact checking prior to publishing and/or otherwise making use of any facts, figures, or opinions presented in these forums.

Like a Star @ heaven Whenever possible, we ask those answering other users' research questions to provide web links or other applicable documentation to support their statements, claims, or opinions.

Well, that's it. Post your questions. You never know who here might just have the very answers you seek.
