How to Avoid Writers Block

Sometimes even the greatest of writers can lose their adventurous writing mind at times. But this is okay and it can also be controlled. As writers, it seems like we always have to have something genius ready to be typed or written out at any given second. While this is sometimes true, we all need a little inspiration sometimes. Still, even without a world altering idea to write about, sometimes it is best just to:

Start writing

Whatever is on your mind in the moment, go with it. Day dream for a bit, vent, or just go with whatever is your current state. Sometimes the best ideas come with a bit of rambling.

Edit x100

Even if you're just rambling, any story can become its best if it is edited and edited again. This is the work of a true writer, if a story can entice even if it is a seemingly dull topic.

Pursue inspiration

Humanity can prove itself again and again to be lazy and unmotivated. Don't settle and do not become unmotivated. There is a reason for writing- there is a purpose in it. Go out, take some time to open your mind and take in what is going on around you.

Don't underestimate

There is always something going on- something that can be pursued and relationships to be discovered. This is when ideas can bloom and your writing fingers will be in constant motion.

Explore and research

There's nothing wrong with seeing what others have to say- what others think. Writing comes full circle, even for the best of writers. We encourage enlightenment through other great writers or simply through the wide world around us. Let other's insights and aspirations encourage you to discuss your thoughts and words on a subject.

Stay informed

The world never stops, and neither should you. Everyday something significant happens. Tell me a reason that I'm wrong. I'll wait...

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.
