Keeper writes
Whenever I am in front of the document, I can't seem to type anything.
But when I am doing something else, especially when I am walking, watching tv and taking a shower, this head of mine starts forming words about a story. Most of the time, I have nothing to write on so I depend on my memory. Sigh.

I said I was having writer's block. But then I saw this blog saying that writer's block is just anxiety. Indeed, I often think about a lot of things before I even begin. Sometimes, I am so critical about myself that I am afraid to even type one word. The author advised that whenever we are having writer's block, write about writer's block.

My sister once told me that there is no such thing as writer's block because there are so many things to write about. She writes an average of 30 articles in one day in odesk for five days. She still writes on Saturdays and Sundays, but not as many during weekdays. I often wonder how she does that.
So, one time, I secretly watched her.
WHOAH. She was typing real fast, like something was running after her and she wasn't stopping for a long time. A few moments later, she stretched her arms upward and read the article she wrote.
Now, I believe the blogger when he said, "Just write. Think later."

My dad asked my sister if she was planning on doing a children's book. And the creative writing major said, "I don't write fiction."
Dad, what if Keeper writes that children's book? ^^"
