In This Article:

As a fellow writer, I can just say, It is NOT easy. I can't tell you how many unfinished drafts I have in my computer. Plus, especially if your novel is fantasy, it is hard coming up with a whole new world with rules and laws and a functioning society. So if you are like me, you can probably relate to these 7 things

1.Inspiration

When I really try to think of an idea, I come up with ZERO. But then I am feeding my cat and BOOM! Story idea.

2. Writer's Block

Let me tell ya, I can sit at my computer for 5 hours without typing a SINGLE word.

3. Your browser history 

LOL. My internet history is the weirdest thing ever. BUT IT IS FOR A BOOK, I SWEAR!

4. Reality

When i tell someone I am a writer, they probably think I have a published work.... i DO NOT. bUT I will one day!

5. Time

The time I spend on ACTUAL writing vs the time I spend on surfing the internet is why I never finish a story.

6. Synonyms

I try so hard not to use basic words, that I end up writing something that not even I can comprehend.

7. We LOVE our characters

My characters are my children. I protect them at all costs! .... unless I have to kill them off

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
