Ouroboros

OUROBOROS

THE MIGHTY OUROBOROS
Why are we looking at this ancient symbol?

The symbol of the snake eating it's own tail has been around in many cultures for thousands of years and can be traced back to Ancient Egypt. There's a great lesson on improvisation in the Ouroboros.

How often have you looked for an ending to a scene and only found your brain frozen in it's path?  You aren't alone.  One of the ongoing self criticisms of MOST groups is the inability to end sends in a satisfying way.

Take a look at that snake eating its tail.  If you are in a scene and near the end, DON'T LOOK FORWARD!!! The end of the scene is in the details you have already created.  Look at the details from earlier in the story and RE-INCORPORATE. (feed the original information back into the story)

And if there are no details to Re-incorporate, you may need to work on creating stronger "platforms" to launch your scenes from.
