Just be yourself and write about anything that interests you. :bounce:

Don't worry, everyone has those kinds of jitters doing things for the first time. :emoticon-5:

I agree with Q_sharon.

Ariahk, you should never stop writing just because of a writer's block.

You can get a piece of paper and just write down anything that comes into your mind. Take a rest after... walk or have some tea or coffee and then read what you've written and organize them. You may get an idea from there. :happy0141:

Thank you ctivnan, q_sharon.
Right now I've started writing and so far lots of topics keep flowing in my head.
:thanks:

Hey, don't worry. Writing is a process. The greatest writers in the world didn't sit down and write a perfect draft right away. They wrote all their ideas down without care and then just perfected the masterpiece. :)

For a more attainable example, when I was writing my thesis, I would make it a point to try to write a page per day (if I was really really stumped, I forced myself to write just a paragraph). Then I'd spend Fridays and the weekends editing the work without pressuring myself to come up with anything new.

It was funny how people used to ask me on Thursday how many pages I've got, I'd answer something like "I've got 37 pages." Come Monday, after editing over the weekend, my answer is "around 25 pages." hehehe...

I produced something eventually... so will you!
