Thoughts You Have When You Don't Know What To Write About

If you're like me, or any kind of writer for that matter, whether it be school papers, Odyssey, or for anything else, you have probably come across a little feeling called writer's block. This little stinker of a feeling hits you hard and you're left feeling helpless and a little foolish. Don't worry, you're not alone, because pretty much everyone goes through this. Reading this and not sure if what you are experiencing is writer's block? Here are some thoughts everyone experiencing writer's block has:

Hmm...my article is due in a few days.

Better get started on that.

What to write about, what to write about...

Let's see, I could do something funny,

Or something serious.

I wonder what everyone else is writing about.

Why couldn't we just be assigned what to write about?

Oh right, because then I would hate the topic and complain.

I should really work on that habit of complaining so much...

So...what is important and relevant and interesting that I could write about?

...

Nothing...literally nothing.

...

I could write about puppies! Everyone loves puppies!

But that would not be very important to the world...

Puppies are important in my world though...

Hmm...maybe an article about something serious...

Wow, why do I not know anything important going on in the world today?

I am a terrible person for not being informed...

OK, so nothing serious...

Oh! I know! What about being healthy?

Well, maybe not, because I'm not exactly the greatest role model sitting here binge-watching Netflix.

Well...it isn't due for a few more days. I have time!

Shoot! I completely forgot about my article! It's due today!

I don't even have an idea!

What am I going to do...

OK, think, think, think...

Already ruled out puppies...

And stuff about being healthy...

And serious things...

Wow, writing is hard!

Why do we have to do this again?

Oh right, because we want to learn things and be smart.

Well, this is not making me feel smart...

OK! I'm thinking of a topic, a topic, a topic...

Maybe if I put some music on it will help...

...

Good song!

Didn't help.

...

OK! I cannot think of anything...

I am the most unimaginative person ever!

What if I wrote an article about writer's block?

Maybe I could even throw in a picture of a puppy or something!

Yeah, sounds good!

Alright! Article, here we go!

...

Now how do I start it?

...

Just some thoughts I had while trying to decide what to write this week. If you have ever experienced writer's block, I sympathize with you. It really stinks! But do not worry, your creative juices will flow eventually!

Hang in there guys!

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.
