Welcome to my blog!

I am an English major. They say practice makes perfect so here I am practicing my writing in hopes that some day I will be perfect.
This is the world according to me.
I hope you enjoy my insight as much as I enjoy writing it.

Go away writer's block

I have a terrible writer's block. I want to write a memoir. At least I want to start my memoir. I need to write 30-40 pages by the end of the semester. I need to write and turn these in. It is part of my grade. So why can I not write about my life? Why can I not write down my dearest memories of my childhood? I had a good childhood. I have had a good life. Go away Mr. Block. I hate you. I need to write. I need to write well. Maybe I should write about more recent events. I should write about my relationship with my ex. That will hurt to write about but maybe it will be good to write about. It will be nice to let everyone hear about it. Or maybe I can continue the story I was writing before with a friend of mine. But then I need to talk to him more. Surely I could come up with 30-4o pages with what I have so far from talking to him. I don't know. I have never been this stuck in my writing. I can usually just sit down and the juices start flowing. But why, as soon as I start up Microsoft word, do I freeze up after a very brief introduction? Maybe I should just write it in a notebook and type it up later. Yes. I think that is what I am going to do. For whatever reason a notebook feels more comfortable to type in. Microsoft Word seems so final and formal. I mean, JK Rowling wrote part of the first Harry Potter on napkins at a bar. If she can do that, I can surely write in a notebook. It is not much different. I think she is wonderful. I do not care what anyone says. She is a phenomenal writer and deserves anything she gets. Stephanie Meyers on the other hand is a different story. She is terrible. Her characters are terrible. I wish she made better protagonists. Bella and Edward really annoy me. I am not going to lie. I just want to slap them both sometimes. Okay, I think I should be able to at least get something down on paper now. Wish me luck!
