How To Kill Writer's Block
blogspot

If you're anything like me, you must get writer's block extremely often. Even without any limitations as to what I can write about, with every option under the sun, I still have such a hard time sometimes figuring out what to write. However, I've just come up with a list of ideas for myself as to what I can write about for future reference. Hopefully this can help you too if you ever have a creative writing assignment or just generally feel like writing. You're welcome in advance.

1. A sudden realization or epiphany you have had in your life; whether it be big or small.

2. What makes you different from anyone else.

3. A hidden talent you have that nobody else would know - how did you discover you have it?

4. Your top ten favorite music artists and songs written by them.

5. Your favorite and least favorite teachers you've ever had - what made you love/hate them so much?

6. If you could go back in time, what's one thing you would do differently?

7. Write thank you letters to the most important people in your life and give it to them after!

8. Five things you're excited for in the upcoming future.

9. Any conspiracy theory ever because you could write forever about any one of those.

10. A list of what stresses you out and how to remain calm.

11. Research what your name means and talk about whether or not you think your personality reflects that meaning, along with the personality traits that come with your name.

12. What you think about horoscopes: are they real? Are yours accurate/have they ever been?

13. Any embarrassing moments you've had. I'm sure there are plenty for you to talk about.

14. Your biggest fears and why you're afraid of them.

15. Who has had the biggest influence on your life?

16. What has been your favorite age to be so far? What age are you most looking forward to?

17. What qualities do you look for in a friend?

18. What do you think your biggest accomplishment has been so far?

19. What do you want to be when you grow up and why?

20. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

Hopefully this gave you some inspiration for your next creative writing assignment or when you just feel like writing. I know I'll be referring to this list very soon myself.

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.

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.
