Let me be straight here: I love reading, but I LOVE writing even more. However, one thing I hate is writer's block. And surprisingly, it comes quite often. Since I was younger, I've always loved writing stories because it was a way to express myself. Writing is a way to open a door to a whole new world - one that you have the power to make your own. So why does this prove to be so difficult sometimes? I mean, after all, you have all the power. You can put whatever words you want onto paper. But still, often times I am left staring at a blank page, just waiting for words to flow out. This happened so much when I was a child, and it still happens now when I sit down to write for the Odyssey.

Writing weekly is fun and rewarding, but it also proves to be a challenge. So while I am writing this for you, I'm also selfishly writing for me (you know, in case I ever get writer's block)

1. A review of your favorite book

Harry Potter for sure. I can't even pick a specific one though so honestly, all 7.

2. A review of your least favorite book

Personally, I don't have one. Well, maybe some book I was forced (sorry to my old teachers) to read in high school.

3. Your bucket list

I have a Pinterest board of my bucket list... there's so many awesome ideas on it that I'll have to share.

4. A letter to your future (blank)

Future husband, kids, maid of honor, etc. You get the idea.

5. A current event

This one requires effort. You actually have to read the news. Shocker, huh?

6. Use gifs to explain something

I already do this one a lot. It's easy and funny, and all my friends seem to love it.

7. An open letter to (blank)

Dear whoever. If you want to write to anyone, you can do it here and get it all out. Trust me, it feels amazing.

8. Write about your roommates

You know, all good things of course. Wouldn't want to make anything awkward (;

9. A review of your favorite movie/TV show

This one is so easy, and it should get the words flowing without even having to think. You'll be done writing in no time.

10. A list of article ideas

(See what I did there?)

So, if you're a fellow Odyssey writer, or even just someone who read this for fun (what kind of loser are you anyway if you did that?), hope I helped!
