Thoughts From A Writer's Desk

My thoughts while struggling with writer's block.

Thoughts From A Writer's Desk

  1. That’s it I’m done, all my ideas are gone. I cannot think of an idea or topic to save my life. I have been trying to write something for hours, literal hours. No ideas, no thoughts, nothing. Absolutely nothing I can think of to write. I’m also pretty sure that clock on the wall is wrong. It has definitely been a few days since I have written anything worth reading. Ha! That implies that I have written something; I haven’t written anything!
  2. What is wrong with me! Why can’t I think of anything? I am literally at a loss for words! I can’t believe this is happening to me! Why?! I know everyone
  3. What if I can never write again… my life is over. Writing is what I do, it is part of my person!
  4. How in the world do some people seem to have endless ideas, and I’m over here just empty? I’m so jealous of these people who can just write and always seem to have ideas. The ideas just flow from their souls and onto the page; it’s so beautiful! So much talent!
  5. There has to be something I could write about! *google searches writing prompts* Nope, I’m not feeling any of this. Some of these are absolutely terrible.
  6. How can I call myself a writer? How? Such a disgrace to the title! Writers create art in word-form! They express feeling and emotion in their writing. They describe and explain in a way that others can’t. People who do this are writers. I am not a writer, just not. I have been deceiving myself for far too long. It’s time to face the facts: they are writers, I am not.
  7. I need to write something! I have the urge to write but no topics or ideas!
  8. Is writers block a serious illness? I mean, if it is a real thing that happens to everyone, then it must be a legitimate mental problem. Do I need medicine for this? Is this a curable problem? Is it contagious? Do I need to stay away from other writers to that they can remain well and not catch my disease? Or maybe the better question is – who did I catch this from? Who is responsible for this blocking of the writer in me? Do I need therapy, a support group maybe.
  9. I think I’m going crazy! I’m just going to start typing and see where that takes me. Maybe not all hope is lost!
  10. Hey look at that! I wrote something! … this counts right?

Hopefully others can relate to my thought process. Finding time and ideas for writing have been a real struggle here lately. If you are a writer currently struggling with writer's block, maybe you can find comfort in knowing I am struggling too. Once the block passes, our writing will be stronger and better for it, so don't give up. It's going to be okay; we can get through this together.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
