so since its the summer, ive been thinking that i might as well just write. the thing is, i cant think of anything to write about. my mind is so constipated.
would you guys mind posting images, lines from written works, words, or sentences? they dont have to be religious, just things that can get my creative side working again.

Made my day with the "my mind is constipated" comment.

The month of Ramdan is upon us, I'm sure there is much writing one can do about the month of mercy and forgiveness.

I thought of this after reading your post: The most helpless of all men is he who cannot find a few brothers during his life, but still more helpless is he who finds such a brother but loses him. From Imam Ali's well of eloquence.

I have a few favorite pictures of mine that I'd like to share with you. Just have to find them.

Have you been able to write lately?

haidernyc,
What do you write mostly? Fiction? Short stories or long (novella)?

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?

9 Things I Hate About Everyone

1. People who point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their a** to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn Right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film, "did ya see that?" No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor!

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell??? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!!! What can you do thats longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came, would I be standing here???

Introductions

"Hi, I'm-"

"I know who you are."

"You do?"

"You're the guy who thinks he's invisible."

"I have a name-"

"It isn't important. Because you really don't think it's important."

"All right. Since we've started out this way, let me just tell you, I know you too."

"Yeah?"

"You're the girl who is broken."

"I am not broken."

"You're the girl whose eyes close every night and open the next morning, only to find you have never slept at all."

"I sleep well. Besides-"

"You're the girl who dreams of a happy ending even though she has seen seventeen...no, eighteen unhappy ones in her eighteen years."

"Happy endings are over rated. And you're-"

"You're the girl who wants something bigger, something stronger, just so the weakness in her body becomes something so much more."

"You don't understand weakness the way-"

"You're the girl whose heart broke when she was so young, and she fixed it back together with superglue, but cannot ignore the cracks."

"Superglue makes for a good companion, especially when-"

"You're the girl who runs away from love and is always up for a good fight because anger is the only emotion she can deal with without being hurt."

"A fight makes me stronger."

"You're the girl whose eyes shine only when they are as intense as they can ever be."

"And when is that?"

"When you're telling someone you know exactly who they are before they can even know your name."

Cutter

I was one of those people who thought those people who suffer from depression should just, "cheer up." I thought it was a temporary thing, just another flaunting pill that someone could pop, something that just another emo kid whined about. I thought it was all mental, all your spineless slumpings.

I can't believe I thought it was that simple.

I can't believe I thought it was that petty.

That easy.

You don't just have depression; you suffer from it.

It's not just sadness. Depression is more. It's vacancy, it's misery. It's like space. Unpredictable, velvet black which you can sink into, thoughtless. It's pain and nothing in one. It's not that something's is there, hurting you; it's the lack of something. It's the inability to cheer yourself up, just because you don't have the will to do it. To do anything.

I wake up at six or seven, feeling as if I just fell asleep. Because I did. If I don't have anywhere to be, I'll stay in bed for another three hours...or maybe I won't. Maybe I'll sleep until someone wakes me up, because it's so much easier to sit there and pretend that none of it is happening. To act like I'm asleep, and I'm just so tired anyways.

I push through the day either way. I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow, and when people ask what's wrong I'll whisper, "I'm just tired." I am. I'm tired of drifting, and lying and making it easier to lie everyday.

I'm tired of cutting and burning and scratching and pulling and drinking and starving. I'm tired with the fact I'm obsessed with whatever makes my misery go away, only to know that it's only making it worse.

And I'm just tired. Tired of trying. Tired of wanting and sleeping and living and breathing and breaking. So maybe I'll just curl up and forget to eat, or maybe I'll just dream of graves and forget I could ever fly.

Either way.

Either way.

The best inspiration, at least for me, comes from daily life activities. The people I meet, the shows I watch and the annoying people who spit on side-walks all provide ideas for writing and thinking.
  Do you have a obnoxious classmate ? He could as well be the spark needed to jump-start your "constipated" mind. Or that nerd who can't talk about the weather.

The world is full of weird people (and people who are full of it).

How about "culture shock" ? You don't remember Pakistan do you ? Maybe write a story that relates to your fictional experiences in Karachi. The shock of your life when you realise some people in Karachi are more modern than New Yorkers.

Other than that, I have no idea. Thank God I haven't been through Writer's block (probably because i don't write much) but ohh well....Hope you come up with a bestseller .

Also, have a doodh patti .

lol, doodh pati when in murree and it is raining.
