After a few days, I came back to the story. The short hiatus helped. After taking a break for two days, I was able to plow through the rest of my short story. Tonight I finished my story, and--yes, I know Teach, I am not a novel writer--but all I have to say is thank God I am done. Writer's block, in turn, started off being my enemy, but yet in the end helped to me finish my fifteen page short story. (Oxymoron?)

Writer's Block
It could be your worst enemy, or your best friend. But all-in-all, as a writer always meets up with writer's block. For creative writing, I had to write a short story. It is by far one of the most fun, yet difficult assignments I have had in my entire high school career. Writing my short story was easy to start off, but ending the story is hard. I had to tie up all the endings to the problems in my story and I had to work on coming to a final conclusion. While I liked writing this story, I had many problems--like writer's block. Boy, that was my worst enemy. I tried to force a story out of myself, but after repeatedly writing the same scene in different words I gave up. Letting my mind breathe, and letting the story take a break.

Nice, got to admit, writing block is terrible. Can't wait to read your short story though!
