I'm just going to flat out say this- I have no clue where this article is about to go because I have had a case of what I like to call the "summer slump" when it comes to sharing my content over these past few months of summer. My inspiration and ability to actually want to share my ideas, opinions, etc., is higher during the school year than it is during the summer, unbelievable right? It should be the other way around since I don't have to worry about other classes. BUT, my classes gave me inspiration and ideas to write about.
Summer, not so much.
Now, I could sit here and give you advice for overcoming writer's block, but let's be real, I got nothing. And you, nor I, will probably EVER take those steps seriously, so I'm not even going to waste my breath. Instead, I'm just going to type whatever comes to mind about anything that relates to it or doesn't. Honestly, this article could be chaotic in the terms of staying on "topic" but I left it ambiguous enough (hopefully) that my thoughts will just go with it.
Having a loss of words when it comes to writing about something is a lot like those awkward moments with people when you have no response to what they just said. So it's a lot like real life encounters, except with yourself. And a blank screen with the little typing bar blinking back at you while you stare it for the third hour in a row. Maybe you even talk to yourself, give yourself a pep talk saying "You can do this, and you will do this" but here you are, three hours past the time to turn it with nothing.
The writing gods have it out for me for slacking so much this summer. *Que the bolt of lightning that scares that living crap of me*.
In our team group chat, one of the members mentioned how she'll jot down ideas that come to her in the note section on her phone, and honestly what a great idea. I need to have a good yell at myself through the mirror about that because I would make my life so much easier when it comes to writing ideas. I need to flip my green notebook out, with my blue crayon and GET THIS LIST GOING.
But, I probably will write down one thing and forget about it and continue to struggle and make this process harder than what it needs to be. You've heard of work smarter, not harder, now get ready for work harder NOT smarter here in my village because we are SLACKERS at this very moment.
I just hope that when school starts, that ideas just start ROLLING and I'm overwhelmed with all these inspiration that I cry tears of joy because no inspiration JUST SUCKS.
BRING ON the drama, dumb things college students but also the smart ideas and things we say or make happen because I need all the inspiration I can get.
