I have been sitting here for three hours now, trying to figure things out.  You see, I have to write a philosophy essay for tomorrow, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to get it started.

Up to this point, I have never had problems working on assignments, but I guess that I must have writer’s block.  I have tried so many things including going out of my hose to get inspired, but so far, nothing has worked.  If I don’t get things figured out soon, I will be in big trouble as the essay is worth 45% of my mark.

Maybe I will go over the essay topics one more time to see if I can find something to inspire me.  If I cannot figure it out soon, I just don’t know what I will do.  Maybe I will go talk to the professor to see if he has any ideas - it can’t hurt.

For most of my life I have been in love with books.  It seemed like whenever I had a moment, I would pick up a book and read it.

But, in my busy adult life, I really haven’t had a lot of time to do any reading.  I feel sad about it as it was a big part of my life.  So, today, I took a little time out of my busy schedule when I came across some short stories that caught my eye.

I ended up at a creative writing website that was focused on creating a collaborative novel.  What I mean by this is a site that is an interactive novel - you can write a chapter and contribute to the book.  They have a review process where the best contribution each month becomes the next chapter of the novel.

From what I have read (two chapters at the time of this writing) is that what they have so far is good.  In fact, I think I might give writing a chapter a try and submit my own spin on the third chapter.  But, for those of you who love reading, check out End of this World.  It is destined to be a great read.
