I had not a single clue. No ideas were popping into my head when finally at lunch today I said to my friend Iris, \u201cIris, I have a blog due today and it has to be 400-600 words long and I have no idea what to write about,\u201d she told me to write about not knowing what to write about. This led me to thinking, \u201cHow the heck do I do that?\u201d Well we have to start from the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It all started when I first heard we would be writing a blog once a week. I thought to myself, \u201cThat is going to be the death of me\u201d because I tend to have some major writer&#8217;s block. I remember thinking about what I was going to write my first blog about and I absolutely couldn&#8217;t not think of anything. It was as if my mind had become a barren desert wasteland and ideas were like water. Scarce. I had begun searching online for ideas of what to write a blog on but the only things that were popping up were things like \u201cwriting about a goal you have and how you plan to achieve it\u201d or \u201cwriting about debunking a myth.\u201d Seeing as I couldn\u2019t find anything interesting online I began asking my friends for ideas. It was the middle of the school day and all my friends were at school except for one so I could only ask him. Trent. TrentyPoo. Trenton John Brazier. You may be asking yourself why I would list his full name? Well, that&#8217;s in case you want to stalk him. You never know if I put his real name or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trent gave me some good ideas. But they weren&#8217;t good enough. He told me to tell stories of my dog. I shoved that to the back of the filing cabinet. He told me to write about how he always gets on my nerves. While that would be funny, I just don\u2019t think it would be long enough. He gave me a few other ideas but I don\u2019t remember them so I\u2019ll move on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next was my mother. I asked my mother what I should write about and of course she said my dog. For those of you who haven\u2019t already noticed from my blog, Dog Days, I&#8217;m completely obsessed with my dog. Once again, I shoved the idea of writing about my dog to the back of the filing cabinet. I asked for a few other ideas and she gave them to me. While I don\u2019t remember them, I do remember thinking about asking my brother but then remembering that he would get back to me in about 4-6 brother days (aka whenever he saw the text or whenever he felt like responding) so I decided not to text him. HOWEVER, thinking about texting him did spark an idea. It reminded me of us arguing a lot when we were younger. (I just thought of what I\u2019m going to write about next) and then I remembered him trapping me in a hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d remember kids, when worse comes to worse and your big brother traps you in a hole and years down the road you write a blog about it, just remember a snake could have been in that hole with you! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nah but anyway, all\u2019s well that ends well and don\u2019t forget to ask for help when you need it. Don\u2019t just sit there in a slump til the very last minute, reach out and ask for help.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this blog I was completely stumped about what to write.
