2. Opportunities
You never know who will see an article and want to publish it or share it on their own platform
3. Keep your mind sharp
It can be easy to be mind lazy over holidays or breaks. Odyssey gives you the opportunity to keep your mind active, but not overworked like when turning in papers and assignments for school.
4. Widen your creativity
Because you don’t want to be publishing articles on the same subject every week, writing for Odyssey keeps your creativity running to come up with different ideas.

The people in your community can encourage you, challenge you, and be there with you through all the ups and downs of writing.

8. You can write about anything
It doesn’t matter how odd or controversial, you can write about whatever you want. Lists, poems, deep articles, light-hearted, political, the list goes on.
