Do not despair however, the situation is recoverable.  First go through your newspaper, collect interesting ephemera, scour through old periodicals, collect postcards of all subjects and divide them off into sections. It might help in describing a scene for your novel or short story or a portrait of someone.  Do you watch fly on the wall documentaries or house moving programmes, how do people react if they are in danger of not getting the home of their desires. How do they behave towards their families. Keep a notebook at hand at all times, that is most important.   Find a large ring binder, beg borrow, steal, well perhaps not the latter but if you know of a comany that is getting rid of old office stock in that area, offer to buy and find out their favourite charity, most firms are philanthropic.  Now split them into twelve months with dividers then transfer your ideas on to the word processor with the date and slot them in. If you are stuck, select at random, don't confine yoursself. You will never be stuck again.  Watch historical programmes as well, anything that might get that little brain ticking

Writing Techniques

Writing is an important form of communication. Good writers use different writing techniques to fit their purpose for writing. To be a good writer, we must master each of the following writing techniques.

1. Description

Through description, a writer helps the reader use the senses of feeling, seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting to experience what the writer experiences. Description helps the reader more clearly understand the people, places, and things about which the writer is writing. It is the most common form of writing. we will find descriptive writing in newspapers, magazines, books, and most other forms of written communication.

2. Exposition 

Through exposition, a writer informs, explains, and clarifies his/her ideas and thoughts. Exposition goes beyond description to help the reader understand with greater clarity and depth the ideas and thoughts of the writer. Expository writing, like descriptive writing, is commonly found in newspapers, magazines, books, and most other forms of written communication.

3. Narration 

Through narration, a writer tells a story. A story has characters, a setting, a time, a problem, attempts at solving the problem, and a solution to the problem. Bedtime stories are examples of short stories while novels are examples of long stories. The scripts written for movies and plays are further examples of narrative writing.

4. Persuasion

Through persuasion, a writer tries to change a reader's point of view on a topic, subject, or position. The writer presents facts and opinions to get the reader to understand why something is right, wrong, or in between. Editorials, letters to the editor in newspapers and magazines, and the text for a political speech are examples of persuasive writing.

5. Comparison and Contrast

Through comparison and contrast, a writer points out the similarities and differences about a topic. Comparison is used to show what is alike or in common. Contrast is used to show what is not alike or not in common. Describing living conditions in 1900 and living conditions today would allow for much comparison and contrast.
