Things Odyssey Writers Say
The Odyssey Online

If you're an Odyssey writer, there are definitely things you think about while sitting at your computer and trying to come up with a new article. There are some weeks that go very smoothly and others that you really struggle to find a relatable topic. Writing every week is more challenging than most people would give us credit for, and the purpose of this article is to vent and give other writers something to laugh at.

Things Odyssey writers say:

1. I can't think of a topic!!!

I don't have to tell you that finding a topic each week can be a hassle. It's hard to find a topic that you care enough about writing while at the same time finding one that other people will share.


2. Why won't anyone share this?

We all have those weeks when when we write articles that we think are great, but our social media bases don't really think so. We spend the whole week monitoring and checking our shares to see if they'll somehow boost, but at the end of the week, we are disappointed.

3. I hope people relate to this.

We find ourselves sitting in front of the computer and second guessing ourselves when it comes to our topics for the week. We worry that our articles might be ignored. It's not even that our articles are bad, it's that they weren't the flavor of the week. What's more than that is that they could have been more popular if they were posted a week early or later, but there's no incentive.

4. I hope this isn't redundant.

it's the beginning of the week, and you're watching the news, something terrible just happened. Like most people with a heart you feel a need to express how you feel about it. Unfortunately for you many other people felt the same need to express their opinion on the terrible news, and now your article is just a drop in an ocean of the current news.

5. Why didn't I think of that???

When looking at top articles from the Odyssey or even other websites, you're always in awe because it seems like other writers come up with the best ideas. When you see an article like this, you find yourself wondering why you didn't think of it first.

For those of you reading this article who aren't Odyssey writers, keep these things in mind when an article appears on your Facebook wall. Give it a like, or even a share, because a lot of work goes into the work that we do!

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.
