Dear Writers Block, I Hate You

There is an evil little creature using my backspace key as a trampoline! HELP

So I've been writing for the Odyssey for about a year now and it gets really hard to put together good articles for my deadlines. I love it though, it's like a release for me where I can get everything out that I want to. I can just vent and let my fingers do the rest.

But as all writers know, there are two words that can stop even the best of us in our tracks

WRITERS BLOCK

This is an increasing problem for me every time I start a new article. I'm always so excited and it always ends with me getting about a paragraph in and stopping. It's so frustrating because I can feel the words on the tip of my tongue but I can't get my brain to send the words to my fingers so they can type them. I love to write no matter if its a story, a poem, an article so when the infamous writers block sets in it sucks. I mean why can't I just get my brain to formulate the words that I want to say you know? In fact I'm suffering from this awful creature this week and thats why I'm writing about this little rascal. I mean if I can't write about anything else why not write about whats keeping me from doing something I love.

So you evil little creature I hate you so much all I want to do is write and it's like you are just sitting on my backspace key ready to erase every word, every sentence I write. I mean do you just get pleasure in torturing me? Do you enjoy using my backspace key as a trampoline. I'm sorry to sound so rude but why do you even exist? Just go away and don't come back! I just want to write but you for some reason find it hilarious to keep me from doing that. I could be creating beautiful articles or even funny ones, articles that not only help me but could even help others.

So if you ever have the unfortunate chance to meet this poisonous little shit I am so very sorry. And if you've already met him and somehow got rid of him please enlighten me as to how you did because I just can't seem to get him to go away. I think he's taken a liking to me which I don't see how considering I can be mean in a sarcastic way but no matter what I do he just sits there taunting me. I mean hell at this rate he's going to break my backspace key he's jumped on it so much and as a college student I don't have the money or time to take it to get it fixed. So to all my fellow writers please help me send him to the farthest place from me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

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.
