10 Facts Of Writer's Block As Told By "The Office"

1. Sitting down only to realize you have no idea what to talk about.

Words that used to flow out easily are now stuck in your brain. Every word you have ever learned throughout your life and seemingly useless now. The best you can do at the moment is stare at a computer screen, wishing that you could magically get super powers that would make words appear on the screen.

2. Lots of brainstorming

The best thing you can do is sit down and think of every idea possible and write it down immediately. Your Google search history ends up being filled with you searching for ideas. You may even end up searching for articles about writer's block (guilty is charged.)

3. Getting distracted and taking a break.

Either your phone buzzes or you see something in the surrounding area that makes your mind jump somewhere else. It's okay if you look at it though, right? You did in fact brainstorm so many (100% sarcasm) ideas. You just need to relax and come back to it and it will be so easy.

4. Messing around in hopes of coming up with something good.


You just need to free your mind and distract yourself for the words to come to you. Now is the perfect time to start a new hobby, maybe even being able to write towards a different audience than you have.

5. Finally deciding on writing a tear-jerking article.

Who doesn't love an article that hits you right in the feelings and may even make a tear fall from your eye? There's a part of you that wants to see your readers being so touched by the material you're writing.

6. Turning on some music to get you in the zone.

Sometimes, a good song is all you need to free your mind. It's different for everyone though. Maybe some classical music is all you need to get down to business, or maybe it's a song you can jam out to.

7. Getting distracted and turning into a one-man dance party.

Turns out Britney is not what you need to get down to business, but it's okay because you know you'll get back to writing soon. For the time being, you decide to just dance it out.

8. Being tired and hungry from dancing so much so you take a snack break.


Everyone gets hungry, it's only normal for you to take a snack break. It doesn't really matter how close you are to finishing your work, it's not good to make your stomach wait.

9. Finally getting back to work.

It's so easy to bullsh*t what you're writing. All you have to do sometimes is describe everything in more depth until you finally reach the minumum word count and you're all set to go.

10. Finishing what you set out to create.

Congrats, you made it.

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.
