The inspiration for this article comes from my current inability to be creative. Normally, before I sit down to write an article or a listicle, I, at least, have some idea of a topic in mind. Throughout the week, I take something that bothers me, or an idea I had, and I put it into words. Unfortunately, this week, I am still coming up blank.

Writer's block is a natural phenomena that happens to the most creative of us. Whether we need one sentence, one page, or one finished product, everyone experiences the inability to think of what to say next. Afraid of word vomiting on the page, we constantly scramble for that perfect phrase or idea. Yet, we continuously arise without an answer. We stumble over the sentences and stare at blank screens until it shines like a light-bulb in our heads. All we needed was that little push, that one idea to shift our gears.

So, if you ever find yourself at a loss for words, try out some of these topic ideas. These ideas are topical, meaning that they won't help you write a term-paper or a news article. However, writing takes practice, and good writing takes time. Here are some ideas to get the ball rolling and to freely write on. "I never feel more myself than when I'm writing; I never enjoy any day more than a good writing day." -Anthony Minghella,
