How to Start Enjoying Writing


"Writing is so hard."
I hear this one a lot. In fact, I say it a lot as well. It's not that difficult unless you aren't enjoying yourself. Writing is my favorite hobby and it's actually one of the most mindless things to do in my opinion. I suffer from what I call "Chronic Daydreams" in which if I am alone in my thoughts for too long, I begin to think of different scenarios. These scenarios could be simply because I am bored in what ever I am doing and want to sort of get away for a little bit. Other scenarios are based off of whatever I am into at the moment. For example, I currently am thinking a lot about Yandere Simulator and Overwatch. That is because whenever I go over to my friends' apartment I am playing one of those two games. 
My tip? Write about whatever you enjoy.
Do you want to write about D.VA trying to track down an old NES game? Go ahead, you are writing so why not?
Want to write about how you imagine life will be like after your crush falls for you? Go ahead.
The point is, find a topic you enjoy writing about and keep going.
For three years, the only writing I did was Supernatural fanfiction. Sure, I look back and I go "Oh My God. What was I talking about?" I was writing and that was all that mattered, now I am an English major and will probably sit down one day to simply rewrite the whole project. I loved the original characters I made and so I will do whatever I can to take them out of that story. Look forward to that in the future. 
Basically the point of this post is that if you think that writing is hard, you aren't enjoying yourself so take a breather. Not everyone can crank out a novel in one go. I usually have a ton of different ideas for stories at one time and I find it difficult to focus on one story. My method is to sit and write all of the different scenes for different stories. I have attempted to bottle up the ideas for stories, but when it comes the time to write them, I forgot what I wanted to do and lost interest.
Short summary: Write whatever you want to, you'll enjoy it a lot more.

Percy Jackson Blue Chocolate Cookies

So unlike most recipes that people post, I've decided to give the recipe first and then the little background second. Okay? Okay Ingredients: 1 box Blue Velvet Cake Mix 1/2 container of Whipped Topping As many Chocolate chips as you like Directions: Preheat your oven to about 350 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients together using a paddle. Using a small scoop, scoop up about 1 inch diameter balls of dough and place them on a cookie sheet. Put in the oven for about 15-20 or until the tops and edges are a greenish brownish color. Take out of the oven and then place on a cooling rack after about 10 minutes. My story on this recipe? I have been searching on the internet since my freshman year of high school for a recipe for Percy Jackson's favorite food: Blue Chocolate Chip Cookies. Originally I had just used a normal chocolate chip cookie recipe and added a TON of blue food coloring. Of course these cookies ended up being a slight green tinge instead and was often turned...

A Post About Yandere Simulator and Changing Characters

So for the first actual post for BEDIF I decided to start off by talking about one of my favorite games at the moment.. Yandere Simulator. While at first glance, this game looks as if it is about a cute little Japanese schoolgirl But can also be as easily be very dark The choice is up to the player. The main plot of the game is that you are a young Yandere girl who wants attention from her Senpai and will get that attention from any way possible.
