25 Article Topic Ideas To Crush Writer's Block
SparkNotes

I write an article for Odyssey every week, and have been doing so since September 2015. Sometimes, I can’t think of a single topic to write about and am stuck staring at my screen for hours. I watch news segments, read through blogs, and wade my way through the latest things happening in pop culture. When you have writer’s block, the search for finding a topic is more exhausting than writing an article. So, for those who have their off weeks where they spend more of their time searching the web for inspiration than writing, here is a list of 25 things to write about when you have writer’s block.

1. A list of 25 topics for when you have writer’s block.

2. A list of things you’ll never do again.

3. 100 things to do when you’re bored.

4. How would you rob a bank and get away with it?

5. What songs are on your favorite fictional character’s playlist?

6. Write a travel blog!

7. Your top 10 favorite blogs.


8. You’re top 10 favorite YouTube videos, stars and channels.

9. Writers you aspire to be like and why.

10. Respond to an editorial in the New York Times (or other popular paper).


11. Narrate a photo and create the story behind it.

12. All the things wrong with your college. (Everybody has a list.)

13. Free local date ideas.

14. DIY projects.

15. An open letter to your hero or life goal.

16. A list of cheap alternatives to a popular yet expensive store.

17. Tips you’d talk about on “girl code” or “guy code.”

18. Why you write.

19. What you’re bestseller would be about.

20. Things you wish would be invented.

21. A list of things you should never buy the generic brand of or things you don’t trust on sale.

22. The thing you are most guilty of.

23. What makes you an onion — the layers people don’t originally see.

24. Review the last critically acclaimed movie you saw.

25. What reality TV show you’d want to make.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
