What to write?

For a class that I am taking their is a semester long assignment that is to basically write a blog and have at least three entries a week. At first I thought it should not be to hard especially since the explanation given was to write whatever you want or was on your mind. I did my first blog relatively quick after the assignment was given. I was inspired by a headline I read online that the film Avatar was now the biggest movie gross ever. It has now been over a week since my last post and I am still finding it difficult to find something to write about.

I have learned that, while people say this assignment will be easy much like a hand written journal, the assignment is extremely difficult. I do not care what people say but when writing something that is to be read you should want to write about something that people would want to read, therefore eliminating a good portion of material to draw from when you are solely writing what is on your mind. For example, I am thinking about what I want for dinner. It is definitely something that I could write a long blog post about. I could explain my many options, my different cravings, or my preferences of food. The problem is that it would have no importance. I am sure you can write it entertainingly enough for people to read it but I still feel that it is a subject that does not hold any importance.

What I am trying to get at is that I feel that, speaking for myself only, this assignment is difficult and very time consuming because it is difficult to find a subject to write about. I tend to only do things that I feel are important and therefore find it hard to write what is on my mind because I do not feel that people care what I am thinking about, ex. what I want for dinner. I hope as time goes on that it will be easier for me to find subjects to write about. Also I have to say that I want people to understand that I am not complaining and instead performing the task of the assignment, writing what is on my mind.
