I feel we've all been through the "writers block slump." As I sat down to write my article this week I had so many ideas running through my head I couldn't get a solid one down on paper. I started article after article feeling as none of them were good enough for the point I wanted to get across. After agonizing about what to write about for days, I decided to take a comedic route to express my pain of not being able to write much this week. During my experience, these were my top problems:

Denial

It's fine, it really is. I've just been staring at a blank page for four hours and this paper is due tomorrow morning.

Procrastinating

I should clean my room. Maybe I should go for a run. I should go feed my cat, even though I don't have one. I should buy a cat, wait I'm allergic to cat. Organizing my closet has never sounded more appealing. "Sure, I'll drive you to Walmart!" *Checks Facebook for the 12,386th time in a row even though there are obviously no notifications*

Anger

*throws pencil at wall* *throws paper at wall* *throws self at wall*

Confusion

"Oh yeah, I could totally write about that time where I did that thing in the thing at the place in the thingy with the people."

Perseverance

When you've started over and over on drafts multiple times but hey, fifth times the charm!

Crying, So Much Crying

Sometimes you just have to let your frustrations out by crying into a bowl of Ramen Noodles, we've all done it, don't be ashamed about it.

Bargaining

Don't tell me you have never put a line of gummy bears in front of yourself and said you couldn't eat them until you actually get something on the page.

Acceptance

There comes a time when you eventually learn to accept that the blank page is not going to turn into anything soon. It not something you like, but being a writer it's something you have to be okay with.
