Writer's Block

When I heard we had to blog just about every day about a random subject in English class I was thinking that could be a problem because I might not have anything to say everyday. That was until the minimum amount of words it had to be,750 each blog. Red alert lights went off in my head like a ship was sinking. This was after the Manifesto post which trust me was harder to make than you would think. During the manifesto I think I ran out of things to say around 300 words and clawed and scratched for the other 450. So you could imagine the trouble I would have with one a day. She told us about the blogs the first day she came back. When I came back Thursday I was not looking forward to that class plus I think the shock would not allow me to start on the posts (maybe a little laziness), but I think the good lord saw mercy on this poor boys soul and the teacher told us it was only 200 a blog a much better ratio per blog. I still have trouble coming up with topics but at least it’s less words and with it I got a post out of it.

When she said 740 words, I was like "wow", but then again, I forgot to recall that I remember seeing 200 and not 750. The exact number never came to mind. Writing two hundreds blogs is not so hard because we end up writing maybe three hundred or so words. Sometimes I get writer's block or I do better writing at night... for some odd reason.
