There is a lot of times where I have a hard time coming up with articles, however, there are a few things I do to give myself some ideas. Hopefully, these four ideas for inspiration will help my fellow article and journal writers!

1. Go to Odyssey's website and start reading other articles.

Obviously, the point is not to copy another article... but reading other headlines, can jump-start your thought process and possibly help you think of an idea you hadn't thought of before. Also, reading fellow odyssey writers articles is always fun!

2. Take a walk.

This may seem impossible in the literal four-degree weather but honestly, for me, walking in the cold helps wake me up and 'people watching' around campus usually gives me an idea!

3. Ask your friends what they would want to read.

Many times I ask my roommate what she would like to see on her Facebook page or what would most incline her to click on the link. You want to create content that other people want to read as well and that is relatable to people in your age group.

4. Make a list of articles you have already written.

I find this helps eliminate some options I might have already written about and can also help spark some ideas or give me something to branch off one of my other articles.

Hopefully these help spark some new ideas in youre heads for new and improved articles!
