The "I don't know what to write about" blog

I have absolutely no idea what to write about today. I told a friend I'd try to write about anything every day. EVERY. DAY. But I don't think I'll do so. But hey! I've been trying! Anyways... I don't know what to write about today... So since I can't come up with anything, I guess I'll just write about not knowing what to write about!

Not knowing what to write about can be pretty stressful sometimes. Usually, I'd be back home with a topic in mind that I want to talk about like the past few days, but today, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Sometimes I just know that I have enough to say about one topic that has enough potential to be written about. But today... It seems like quite a weird topic. It's not really writer's block, but more of a lack of ideas (yeah OK it's writer's block).

But some silly thing isn't going to beat me! So I guess I'll say some things I do when I get writer's block!


First of all, it depends on how much liberty you have while you write. For example, in this blog, I can write whatever the fuck I want; hence, having pretty much the liberty to write about I have in my mind however I want. Otherwise, there may be an essay that they asked you to do in school. You get all "DAAAMN. WHAT A WEIRD TOPIC. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL WRITE ABOUT."

What I do when something like this comes up, is just write ANYTHING you know about the topic. Whatever it may be, just write about it. After you have some notes written down, try to make it more complex; or better yet, research about it! It never hurts to learn a bit more and you'll get more material to write about!

At least, that's the way I do it... I learn facts, analyze it a bit, see if I'm interested enough to write about it, then I write the final product to express how I want it to be. Although, doing that can be extremely difficult sometimes due to some restrictions and/or lack of a more complex lexicon. Anyways... I still don't know what to write about. But I guess I already wrote enough as it is about nothing at all.

To make up for your time, lets play a game. Whatever you are holding in your right hand is now evaporated. Hopefully it wasn't very valuable. (My laptop is destroyed! >_< )
