Spacing Out: Self-Inflicted Writer’s Block (i.e. A Polite Request)

Dammit Writing, Why Do You Vex Me So?

So I said I would do one of these things every week and I’ve nooooooooooooooooot been totally sticking to my end of the bargain. Sometimes it’s fatigue, but most of the time…I have no idea what I want to write about. I either think of a topic I can’t fully flesh out, or my brain just decides to go on strike and stop. It’s like I have some self-inflicted guilt caused by my own perceived inability to write anything deeper than a critique. Weird, right? So this is where I hopefully don’t seem lazy in asking for your help. ;) I think what might help jumpstart this whole thing — my brain especially — is some topic suggestions from you guys. What would y’all like me to talk about?

I mean sure, I can review a game with little problem because there’s the game working as a focal point, but not having that focal point feels a good deal more difficult, and this is something I would like to improve upon.  So if y’all don’t mind, please, throw some topics my way. I’d really appreciate it, and I’ll do my best to give the topics the attention they deserve. Thanks! :)
