Euphoria Fixation

My head is seriously deprived of all sorts of creative juices at the moment. I mean I can’t even spin a simple storyline to conjure up a short story right now. For the first time since a very, very long time, I am having a writer’s block. And I think I know exactly why I am facing this blockage of creativity…I have been in a state of euphoria for way too long.

No, seriously. I think my so-called writing skills draws its "strength" from my state of depression and despair. Oh, I’m so melodramatic…literally. When I am isolated from my peers and the rest of the society, I could think of a heart-wrenching story in my head and translate it onto paper the next day. I have to admit that I have a pension for writing melodramatic stories where at least one of the characters die at the end. Lolx.

Anyway, I wrote in to "The Star" newspaper the other day to ask if their offer to work as a part-time writer is still up. They replied today and they gave me a writing assignment! That was the good news. The bad news is that I must think of three topics to write for an entire issue of stuff@school and my head is full of nothing except for the word "Seriously?" at this particular moment. I mean seriously? I don’t know if I am capable of writing for the whole pull-out (Well, there is just 6 pages actually. It’s not Star InTech or Clove). I can’t think of any topics to write on.

What topic will be appealing to teenagers? One that won’t have them flipping the newspaper aimlessly when they read it? Well, I should know that…I mean I am a teenager aren’t I? But I can’t think of anything!! Gosh…

I text message M.L. and she said that relationships will be interesting. But if I’m not mistaken they did an issue on that already. Hmm…I think I’ll just leave this predicament of mine here right now. Anyway…come what may! I am sooo ready to take up the job!!

Now on a lighter side, I am in Penang right now!! At my grandmother’s place to be exact…the living area of the house to be more true to fact. Tee-hee. It’s so great to be here…the air is just so…wait a minute, the air is pretty much the same as the air in KL. The word that would be more fitting is atmosphere. Yup, the atmosphere in Penang is so holiday-ish and err…holiday-ish. Lolx.

I haven’t done anything much during my holidays except half-heartedly reading The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly and watching a truckload of DVDs. I just purchased some DVDs at Batu Ferringhi last night. Hehe. Ooh, and Dad taught me a little driving this morning. It was freaking stressful.

I think I’m going to stop here at this post of mine. Until then, have a great holiday ahead!!

Note: If you guys have any ideas about the topics that would be interesting to teenagers, do please leave a comment to me. Thanks!
