All of us writers get to that point where we have no clue what to write about. It happens to the best of us. We come up with an idea, but when we start writing it doesn't come together like we wanted.

We stare off in today space trying to think of something. What can I write about today? My day? My dog? Is my writing boring? Am I writing about something people will read?

Here is a list of things to write about... Quote style.

WRITE YOUR LIFE

1. If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it. ~ Toni Morrison

2. The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. ~ Neil Gaiman

3. Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. ~ Cyril Connolly

WRITE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES

4. You write about what you know. ~ Larry David

5. If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it. ~ Anais Nin

WRITE TO KNOW MORE

6. I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. ~ Joan Didion

7. I write books to find out about things. ~ Rebecca West

WRITE ABOUT WHAT GIVES US PLEASURE

8. Write in recollection and amazement for yourself. ~ Jack Kerouac

9. I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good sneeze. ~ D. H. Lawrence

All IN ALL

10. And by the way, everything in life is writable about, if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self doubt . ~ Sylvia Plath

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.

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.
