Writer's Block

English homework was very difficult for me this weekend. For some reason, I just couldn't think of any ideas for the blogs or seem to make a good proposal. I tried everything. I was asking my roommate for ideas, watching news channels, and looking online. Nothing seemed to catch my interest enough that I wanted to write about it. Therefore, I ended up writing my third blog about how I couldn't think of any better topic at the moment. I'm sure I have some opinion that would have been more worthy of this spot, but I just can't think of it right now. Its the most frustrating thing to be sitting here staring at a blank page, when I know there are many things I could write about. Not only did I have trouble with the blogs though, but also with my research paper proposal. For that, I could think of many topics I found interesting and would be willing to spend some time on. However, I could not connect them to a reaction in history. The events seemed like they should have obvious effects, but I just could not figure anything out. Hopefully, this is only a temporary condition, since we still have seven weeks, 21 blogs, and two more papers to go!

Writer's block is the worst thing ever! It happens to me at least once a week when I have to sit down and write my usual five blogs. Honestly, sometimes I just can't seem to think of anything exciting to write about! And so I'm sure that I too have written a few where I just ramble on about nothing and anything. And, on top of it all, I should really start to write my research paper or I will end up pulling an all nighter in the near future...yuck
