The 5 Stages Of Writing As Told By SpongeBob

There are various steps to writing; may it be a poem, a short story, a novel, or an article. Frankly the writers who say they spend an hour or two just to write are out of this world. Do not feel less of a writer because you don't; those writers clearly have something wrong with them. To start set up your desk, get organized and have a blank sheet or screen, whatever you prefer. If you want to write cheesy, common unoriginal thoughts, stick with what you have after a few hours of writing. But you will probably realize your ideas weren't as great as you initially thought and your writing sucks, no offense. You then will go into the 5 stages of writer's grief: anger, frustration, mushy brain, hunger, acceptance...

First Stage:


First comes the anger and the self-pity. You feel like you are angry at the world because nothing you write is sounding right. The anger will course through your veins and it won't be pretty. You will feel like smashing things, maybe your keyboard or pencil. At this stage you will still write but your tone will sound angry. #arrrgggghhh


Second Stage:


Then your brain will feel like mush. You will literally be unable to write anything that doesn't sound cheesy or completely unreal. You will get anxious and ask yourself if it is the beginning of writer's block. Try to rearrange your writing environment, the view, maybe even the set up of the room; the change will do you good.
You will feel like doing crazy things, please act on these dumb sounding urges. Otherwise your brain will remain mush. Maybe getting into a new environment or doing things your brains seems to be commanding you to do will be beneficial.


Third Stage:

Then comes the frustration, you will feel like you are lacking something. You start questioning everything: your talent, your choice in writing... I mean are you really meant to be a writer? Yet you try writing again.

Fourth Stage:

After all this, you will feel hungrier and get on a hunger spiral; eating anything in your path, partly from anxiety and partly from stress. Then after filling your hungry worm hole, try writing again.


Fifth Stage:


When you're ready you'll find it is best to write while your ideas are flowing and your mind is not completely empty. Then after writing make sure you read your story again. It will definitely sound better to you, scout's honor.



Have a victory dance ready to perform. You gotta celebrate for finally having that breakthrough. #I'mmmmready

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.
