Writing an article every week can be a blessing and a curse. Odyssey gives writers a platform to express themselves, but that doesn't mean this opportunity doesn't come with its fair share of burdens. These are the 12 thoughts every Odyssey creator has while trying to write an article.
1. OK. What do I write about?
I've got about....an hour before the deadline. Let's get crackin!
2. Maybe I should do one of those trending topics
But I know nothing about One Tree Hill characters so maybe not.
3. This is a good topic! I should save it for later when I'm a better writer.
There's always a catch.
4. Why do weeks go by so fast?
My last article hasn't even posted yet why am I writing another one.
5. No one will even like this
Just your typical self-consciousness. No biggie.
6. Oh! But what if I use that one GIF!?
A GIF makes everything better. That's just fact.
7. Wait, what if my mom sees this?
Yep. Back to the drawing board.
8. MUSE is loading....
and loading and loading and loading
9. What's a metadata title again
Oh yeah, I remember! Yeah right, like somebody is going to search for this on Google.
10. Annnndddd my cover photo is too small
Edit. Resize. Try again.
11. I swear if so-and-so doesn't share this I'm going to question everything
This is right up their alley. If they don't like it, no one will.
