How To Kill Writer's Block
blogspot

If you're anything like me, you must get writer's block extremely often. Even without any limitations as to what I can write about, with every option under the sun, I still have such a hard time sometimes figuring out what to write. However, I've just come up with a list of ideas for myself as to what I can write about for future reference. Hopefully this can help you too if you ever have a creative writing assignment or just generally feel like writing. You're welcome in advance.

1. A sudden realization or epiphany you have had in your life; whether it be big or small.

2. What makes you different from anyone else.

3. A hidden talent you have that nobody else would know - how did you discover you have it?

4. Your top ten favorite music artists and songs written by them.

5. Your favorite and least favorite teachers you've ever had - what made you love/hate them so much?

6. If you could go back in time, what's one thing you would do differently?

7. Write thank you letters to the most important people in your life and give it to them after!

8. Five things you're excited for in the upcoming future.

9. Any conspiracy theory ever because you could write forever about any one of those.

10. A list of what stresses you out and how to remain calm.

11. Research what your name means and talk about whether or not you think your personality reflects that meaning, along with the personality traits that come with your name.

12. What you think about horoscopes: are they real? Are yours accurate/have they ever been?

13. Any embarrassing moments you've had. I'm sure there are plenty for you to talk about.

14. Your biggest fears and why you're afraid of them.

15. Who has had the biggest influence on your life?

16. What has been your favorite age to be so far? What age are you most looking forward to?

17. What qualities do you look for in a friend?

18. What do you think your biggest accomplishment has been so far?

19. What do you want to be when you grow up and why?

20. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

Hopefully this gave you some inspiration for your next creative writing assignment or when you just feel like writing. I know I'll be referring to this list very soon myself.

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.
