Kavin: I need to write about the extinction of the dinosaurs. What do I write?
Me: Just tell them the truth. One of the T-Rexs had too much bad meat to eat. He let out a really large fart. The resulting inferno turned them all into steak.
Kavin (laughing): Noooo, how do I begin.
Me (in a southern accent): All of the dinosaurs were killed. It was bad.
Kavin (smiling): No. I've got all the main points down. I know all the theories of why they went extinct. I've written the first line also. I need the second line.
Me: "In this write up I will try to explain to you why the dinosaurs went extinct. Even though none of our CCTV cameras were working that day, but I will try my best to describe what happened."
Kavin. Dad be serious.
Me: You know I'm not gonna tell you what to write. When you write something, I'll review it for you.
Kavin rarely needs my help with his homework. But when he does, I am really no help at all.
Edit: I have so many writers in my friends list. No one seemed to notice that what the kid has, is writer's block. It's a good thing. I mean, I know, writer's block is a bad thing. But it's good that he wants to captivate his audience from the first line itself.
