Every week when it comes time to sit myself down and write my articles, there is always a period of time where I sit in bed, staring blankly at my computer screen as I wonder "why am I writing anyway? I'm running out of ideas!" But then something comes to me and I inevitably compose a short quip about something pertinent to my life. But what do I do when I have writers block? And how do I overcome it?
Well, the answer is simply this: I don't.
It takes me forever to come up with a topic most days, and even then I'm not always happy with what comes after. But when I'm feeling particularly stuck, I think about the things that are pertinent to my life and try to make them more widely applicable. Like if I'm struggling with something, or I have something personal going on that I think other people can relate to, I usually choose an aspect of these situations and expound upon them more for a public perspective.
What I really mean to say here is that, when you have writers block, think about yourself. When you think about yourself and what you have going on, you slowly begin to think about the things that other people can relate to and that turns into something great to write about. These things, small as they may be inevitably turn into work that may actually be better than something you've been planning to write about for weeks, or the prompts provided to you by other people in your life.
This writers block mindset may actually produce something genius from the lonely crevices of your brain that haven't been noticed for awhile, and that's something pretty crazy to think about if you ask me.
