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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
