UGH!
WHY DO I HAVE SUCH BAD WRITER’S BLOCK!
Man, I hate when this happens…
I’m supposed to be writing a narrative about something and clearly…
I have no idea what the heck I’m going to do yet *shrug*
I want to write about…
The beach
Dance
Theater
Swimming
Reading
The beach
Baking
The beach
And did I mention the beach?
I don’t think I did…
Whatever
WAIT.
I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA.
ABOUT THE BEACH.
Here goes nothing…
“As I laid my towel down on the
Blazing hot sand…”
No, that stinks
Let’s try another one…
“The salty open blue intimidated me
From where I was standing on the shore….”
No, that’s not it either
Oh someone! 
Oh someone!
Please art thou help me!
Maybe I can try to write about reading…
Ok, let’s do this!
“As I open the new found treasure,
The fresh spine creaks and cracks…”
Oh hell no.
I literally want to cry right now.
I want to go back to sleep.
I AM EXAHUSTED.
*YAWN*
I’m bored.
Let’s try one about dancing
“The loud sound of…”
Haha. NO.
You know what?
Screw this.
I’m done.
SO DONE.
I’ve got one!
This one is about baking
“The familiar smells of the kitchen
The same ingredients
The same cookbook
The same feeling
The flour in my hands feels
Silky and smooth
It is a drying ingredient
But that’s ok
The dough is soft
Sticky, limp
But soon it will rise up
And turn into a
Delicious
Dessert”
Aha!  Haha!  I like it!
Now I need a title…
Um…
How about…
The Same Ol’ Kitchen!
Yes.
Yes…
YES!
I overcame my writer’s block!

I had really bad writer's block so I decided, hey, why not write about it instead?
