5 Tips For When You're Suffering From Writers Block
bang2write.com

We have reached a rare point in my life where I am suffering from a writers worst nightmare: writers block. It's okay, breathe, it happens.... don't freak out!

We are in this together, fellow writers. Writing can be difficult, especially when you're on a schedule and can't just write when inspiration strikes. Writing a blog can be particularly difficult because you have to worry about how shareable your blog is, if it's funny or insightful enough, or if you are writing about current issues and not just that old movie that you just re watched for the 500th time. Have no fear, help is here! Here are a few tips for my fellow writers that I have found helpful when I have writers block.

1. Go do something else and come back to it later.

Staring at a screen or a notebook is going to do nothing to help. You will either get frustrated and make writers block even worse, or you'll decide upon a topic you really don't care about just so you have something written down. Remember, your best writing comes out of things you care about.

2. Look up some writing prompts.

A lot of writers feel like this is some form of cheating. Don't worry, it's not. Writing prompts can be a great way to come up with new ideas or bring up past ideas that you may have forgotten about.

3. Just start writing literally everything and anything.

Seriously write down random words. Write about that annoying guy/girl at the party you went to recently, write about how hot your room is, write about how you don't know what to write about... ANYTHING. This will help get you started and get those creative juices flowing.

4. Read a new book or search out some articles to read.

If all else fails you can write a review on either of them. But, you could also get some ideas on writing styles, ideas, or a discussion you want to start. Reading other people's writing can really help to improve yours.

5.Write out tips on how to handle writers block.

If all else fails, follow my lead. Write out a few tips so others don't have to suffer your fate. You get to help yourself out and other people too, and ain't that the best?

Hope this little list helps you get your writing juices flowing. Go forth and write beautiful masterpieces of art my friends! I hope you get all the shares,likes,and retweets! You deserve it after all that hard work!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
