I'm so Bored that I gave writing lessons to the blogosphere: Lesson 1

When somebody asks me, "What do you like to do in your spare time?" I reply, "I like to write."

And when I tell them this, I get one of three responses:

You don't play any sports?!

I was on a bowling team in high school...

Ooh, what do you write?

If you say this to me, I assume you're a writer, too

How? Writing sounds really difficult. 

You think it requires skill and effort to produce my work? You've obviously never read my blog

Well, to anyone whose answer is the third one, I, Bored, shall now teach you how to write in a series of mini lessons on this blog.

 

Lesson 1: Life experience

Before you can write, you have to have something to write about (Yes, I know I used incorrect grammar; it was for emphasis. Get over it). 

If you don't have any life experiences, your writing will be something like this:

 

 You've been warned. 

"But," you scream, "I don't know how to gain life experiences!"

You've come to the right place. Follow the 5 easy steps below, and you will have all the experience you need to become a writer. 

1. Get a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Get extremely serious with them

 2. Break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend. 

Make sure there's lots of fighting involved

 3. Travel around the world

While running from the police

4. Lose your leg/arm in an epic battle/shark attack

 

It's best if you have to saw it off yourself to save your life

5. Develop severe alcoholism. 

And apparently, buy a cat

Congratulations! You've now got enough experience to be a writer. In the next lesson, we'll talk about types of written works.

Bored Game Time!
