Writing is never easy. There're all kinds of things that make it a challenge. Writer's block, lack of time, or maybe you just have the itch to write but you have absolutely no idea to write about. All of these are real challenges and none of them are fun to deal with, especially if you're on a time limit or even just frustrated with yourself.

Getting the creative juices flowing in important when you're writing and that's something you can't always do yourself. Here are 20 super fun writing prompts to get you started!

1. You have the ability to pause time for any length of time, but if you fall asleep in the pause you will never wake up.

2. Take your favorite television show and cross it over with your favorite book or movie.

3. God appoints you “Controller of Weather”. You control and create natural disasters and weather. The first thing on your agenda: Sharknado.

4. Everybody gets superpowers. You end up with the ability to refill things.

5. You accidentally discharge your firearm into the television. Much to your surprise, instead of shattering the glass, it passes right through and hits one of the characters on screen.

6. When you lose things your mother always tells you that it can't have just grown legs and walked off. Apparently, it did.

7. It has been discovered that planets are eggs waiting to hatch. Today we watch as Mars begins to crack open and reveal the creature within.

8. You're broken. Your systems are failing and for some reason, you can't connect to the internet. All you can do it hope your battery lasts long enough to get help.

9. You discover that you have the ability to guess any password correctly with 100% accuracy.

10. You've managed to get ahold of a time turner. Oh, the places you'll go.

11. When a person dies, their memories get wiped, and they get sent back to earth, to be reborn. Problem is, they forgot to wipe yours.

12. You manage to find out that your newest video gam isn't a game at all. You're controlling real people.

13. Your computer is lagging to the point that brings you to tears and insulting the computer. It replies

14.You're a cowboy in the old west when suddenly...

15. You’re a human chameleon, you gradually become like the person you are looking at. You’ve met your true love and she’s one, too.

16. You have the ability to travel through time. Unfortunately, you've broken time, and all because you wanted a sandwich.

17. From birth, everybody has a word imprinted on their left arm. This is the last word they will ever say.

18. How many times have you died now? Right, too many to count.

19. They tried to summon a demon. They got you.

20. You've got guests over and you hope with all your might they won't hear the screams coming from the basement.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
