When I'm having trouble starting a creative writing assignment, I usually try writing a blog post first to get some writing juices going.
It's pathetic that, while it takes me hours to think of something abstract to write about for my class, I can almost instantly start writing about myself/complaining about my life/posting old pictures of my mother that she demands I take down (which I will not take down even though I only barely live far enough away from her that I'm not as scared of her mom-wrath as I used to be.)

Today, instead of doing any of those things, and because I may have burned some bridges with the Leia analogy, I am going to give a shout out to my beautiful mother who does so much for me, puts up with all my quirkiness and often reassures me that someday someone is going to like me for who I am, despite that fact that I dress weird and have a christmas sock fetish.
And just in case it was boring for you to read about how much I love my Mom, I am going to post this funny mom video.
Quit your whining.
Quit your whining.
I still don't think I'm any closer to starting that assignment, and my second time-wasting idea, watching 30 Rock, is now officially out, seeing as how I finished watching all five seasons in a months time.
New anti-writers-block activity suggestions welcome.

I have a Christmas sock fetish too, keep the dream alive ;)
ReplyDeleteHa really Anna? I love that! Nothing is better than the knowledge that underneath your brown ugly winter boots, you have some green and red sparkly socks with wreaths on them.
