I heard a teacher suggesting we look behind the incident that appears in front of us and imagine what went on behind and before.

I see wrongs and try to right them. I see mediocrity and try to stamp it out. I see foolishness and try to point it out in order to encourage wise living.
In my storytelling I try to take the audience 'there' — to wherever my setting is, to taste, see, smell, hear and feel the stuff I have gone ahead and experienced in my mind.

You get to edit your thoughts before you blurt them out in public and have to live with the inevitable regret from opening your mouth before any wise thought or restraint. There's always Facebook if you are intentional about making a fool of yourself with what you write.

Keep a note book of every observation, every good passage from books, clippings from the newspaper and write little tidbits every day. When you have a enough random stuff, start a blog. You can practice writing mediocre material until you get good at it and people start to tell you they like what you write and you build up a following.

I find it best to go and do something else altogether, putting the problem out of my conscious mind and letting the blockage sit there. I might work in the garden, have dinner with friends or family, go for a long drive or a walk. At the strangest hour of the day I get a flash solution and then I write for hours.
