Writing About Nothing

Writing about nothing.

How do you decide what you want to write about when you have nothing to write about. Wrong! You have a ton to write about.. It’s just that you are either too lazy or you just find the interesting things you do as being mundane.

Casey Neistat used to vlog his daily life in NYC, and he had to tell a story regardless of whether he had a crazy thing that happened to him that day or not. I also realised that storytelling isn’t as much about the story as it is about how you weave things into the tapestry of the story. I was once sitting with a few classmates, and we were recounting stories from the past couple of months of our lives. I was sharing memories from my time spent in a German castle for two months, and what I remember is I was bad at retelling the fun stories that happened there. The time I spent in the castle was one of the best memories I have made in some of the past years, and yet how good the story was and how I was telling it makes a huge difference. Once I was finished, one of my classmates started recounting a story about how he and a few other guys got drunk once. The way in which he was recounting every event, was what made the story more interesting.
