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.

Her eyes are closed to the thought; of endless love ever sought.
The battle of hearts never won; so in her it hadn’t even begun.
She did wish with all her thirst; for a true love so un-cursed.
But time always broke down the mold; each day adding a heavy load.
Then one came and swept her up; in a cocoon of magic.

His eyes were closed to the thought; of endless love ever sought.
The battle of hearts never won; so in her it hadn’t even begun.
He did wish with all his might; for the most beautiful sight.
And time did show him her value; nothing but an empty statue.
Then one came and smiled so sweet; leaving him at heaven’s feet.

Their eyes were closed to the thought; of endless love ever sought.
The battle of hearts finally won; now life has finally begun.
They wished only once again; that love would never descend.
Time showed them all of what they missed; ‘I do’s’ were said, sealed with a kiss.
Then they came to a forked path; but just took hands and walked back.

I love the rhyming scheme here and the longer verses from modern poetry forms. Its beautifully written, sounds like the dreaming of love.
