Tenses - past, present and future in writing.

in story-mentor •  7 years ago 

I have at least half a dozen part-completed novels waiting for me to get back to them. I have stories in similar states. If the inspiration leaves, trying to force it doesn't work for me. I never throw (delete) anything, however. One day, I'll get back to the story I'm stuck on and I've rediscovered it either because inspiration made me go back to it or I believe it will strike as I read the part-finished story.

I assume it's a similar tale for most writers. Some call it 'Writer's block'.

    Yeah, now I remember the terminology used for it, "The Writer's Block", thanks.

    Half a dozen novels, that's pretty much interesting. You write a lot of novels?

        That's great. I don't read novels much, but the next one that I will read, will be yours for sure.

        You are also an editor of a magazine, looks like there is a lot to learn from you.

          Thank you. Take a look on Smashwords for Dusty the Demon Hunter's first adventure, Dream Lover - it's free to download from there.

          I was the chief editor, sadly that magazine is no more.

          Thank you, I will bookmark it to download it later.

          Sorry for the magazine, hope you are doing well even after it.

          I am trying to improve my writing skills, so can you recommend me any source/book/blog that you take inspiration from?

            My 'Bible' would be Stephen King's 'On Writing' - memoirs of his craft.
