If you're reading this and can relate, then I totally get what you through every Sunday around 5 p.m. The struggle is real for us Odyssey writers.
Why you may ask: because people hate us for blowing up their social media and finding things to talk about once a week is a lot harder than you would think.
1. Finding a Topic
Finding a topic literally haunts you in your sleep, and in class, and when you're hungry.
2. No Shares
Checking to see if your article is popular at all and getting let down when you only have seven shares.
3. Begging for Shares
Having to share your articles on every social media platform to get shares, and people hate you for posting and reposting so many articles and you get "that look."
4. Editing Wrong
The program always messes up what you have written. The picture won't stay center and you can't figure out why things are getting moved around.
5. Having to Source a Picture
Hating (with a burning passion) to go through every giphy or picture and title it and then source it.
6.Typing Too Fast
When you type faster than the processor and it takes forever to catch up and you are beyond annoyed.
7. Others Sharing Your Article
At the end of the week, you start getting desparate for shares and views, so you have to ask your friends and family to "like" your page and share it.
8. Never Knowing What to Write About
Waiting until the last minute to write an article because you can't think of one.
9. When Publishing Is Delayed
When your article takes more than a day to publish and you fear it won't get a lot of shares.
10. The $20 Seems Like $100.
When you finally finish writing your article for the week and you hope to get the most shares to win the $20 that week. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it feels like you hit the lotto when your article gets the most attention.
