How to Avoid Writers Block

Sometimes even the greatest of writers can lose their adventurous writing mind at times. But this is okay and it can also be controlled. As writers, it seems like we always have to have something genius ready to be typed or written out at any given second. While this is sometimes true, we all need a little inspiration sometimes. Still, even without a world altering idea to write about, sometimes it is best just to:

Start writing

Whatever is on your mind in the moment, go with it. Day dream for a bit, vent, or just go with whatever is your current state. Sometimes the best ideas come with a bit of rambling.

Edit x100

Even if you're just rambling, any story can become its best if it is edited and edited again. This is the work of a true writer, if a story can entice even if it is a seemingly dull topic.

Pursue inspiration

Humanity can prove itself again and again to be lazy and unmotivated. Don't settle and do not become unmotivated. There is a reason for writing- there is a purpose in it. Go out, take some time to open your mind and take in what is going on around you.

Don't underestimate

There is always something going on- something that can be pursued and relationships to be discovered. This is when ideas can bloom and your writing fingers will be in constant motion.

Explore and research

There's nothing wrong with seeing what others have to say- what others think. Writing comes full circle, even for the best of writers. We encourage enlightenment through other great writers or simply through the wide world around us. Let other's insights and aspirations encourage you to discuss your thoughts and words on a subject.

Stay informed

The world never stops, and neither should you. Everyday something significant happens. Tell me a reason that I'm wrong. I'll wait...

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.
