If you're like me, or any kind of writer for that matter, whether it be school papers, Odyssey, or for anything else, you have probably come across a little feeling called writer's block. This little stinker of a feeling hits you hard and you're left feeling helpless and a little foolish. Don't worry, you're not alone, because pretty much everyone goes through this. Reading this and not sure if what you are experiencing is writer's block? Here are some thoughts everyone experiencing writer's block has:
Hmm...my article is due in a few days.
Better get started on that.
What to write about, what to write about...
Let's see, I could do something funny,
Or something serious.
I wonder what everyone else is writing about.
Why couldn't we just be assigned what to write about?
Oh right, because then I would hate the topic and complain.
I should really work on that habit of complaining so much...
So...what is important and relevant and interesting that I could write about?
...
Nothing...literally nothing.
...
I could write about puppies! Everyone loves puppies!
But that would not be very important to the world...
Puppies are important in my world though...
Hmm...maybe an article about something serious...
Wow, why do I not know anything important going on in the world today?
I am a terrible person for not being informed...
OK, so nothing serious...
Oh! I know! What about being healthy?
Well, maybe not, because I'm not exactly the greatest role model sitting here binge-watching Netflix.
Well...it isn't due for a few more days. I have time!
Shoot! I completely forgot about my article! It's due today!
I don't even have an idea!
What am I going to do...
OK, think, think, think...
Already ruled out puppies...
And stuff about being healthy...
And serious things...
Wow, writing is hard!
Why do we have to do this again?
Oh right, because we want to learn things and be smart.
Well, this is not making me feel smart...
OK! I'm thinking of a topic, a topic, a topic...
Maybe if I put some music on it will help...
...
Good song!
Didn't help.
...
OK! I cannot think of anything...
I am the most unimaginative person ever!
What if I wrote an article about writer's block?
Maybe I could even throw in a picture of a puppy or something!
Yeah, sounds good!
Alright! Article, here we go!
...
Now how do I start it?
...
Just some thoughts I had while trying to decide what to write this week. If you have ever experienced writer's block, I sympathize with you. It really stinks! But do not worry, your creative juices will flow eventually!
Hang in there guys!
