I know for a fact that I am not the only person who has been in that situation where it's the day articles are due and I'm stressing about what to write. I'm the type of writer who waits to be inspired. I wait for a topic to slap me in the face. When that doesn't happen, I'm left analyzing everything I see.

Can I write an article about my car? Or should I make a letter to my future self? I got it. I'm going to write an article about how I like my pillows to be rock hard but my mattress to be soft.

If you could make an article about any of those things, you're welcome for the inspiration, and if you can't then here are some things you could write about.

Anything You May Want To Say To A Friend:

If you've had a friend who's gone above and beyond for you lately, write a letter to them. You can even turn it into a more general open letter to: To All The Friends Out There That...

Or vice versa, life happens and people come and go. If you recently lost a friend or decided to cut them out of your life write about that! Human connection is a weird thing and I personally always enjoy reading about the dynamic of someone's friendship. Have you been that friend that did everything for them, and they just cut you off?

Has Anything "Triggered" You In The Past Few Days?

Life is not all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes we get sad, sometimes we get mad. Think back on all that's happened recently and think of a time you got really sad or really mad. Why did that happen?

I once started crying whilst I was listening to "Free Falling" by Tom Petty. It was a few months after my Grandma passed away and it just caused my emotions to flood out. Finding out what's made you experience real emotions, can help strike passion for you to write on this issue. A few days after that happened I decided to write an article about what I could say to her if I could call her one last time. Once you find something that's made you feel, just type away on a computer and let the words fly out.

Check The News!

What's currently trending on Twitter? Doing research on things that are occurring in our world today can spark a flame inside of us.

When I saw the video of Ariana Grande being groped by the priest at Aretha Franklin's funeral, I was enraged and asked if my article about it could be published early.

Write About Odyssey:

Everyone has their own reason for joining Odyssey. What's yours? Has writing for Odyssey impacted your life?

I know personally that Odyssey has given me a place to be free. I wrote a thank you letter because I'm so grateful to have a platform like this.

Take A Trip Down Memory Lane:

Check your Snapchat memories, download Timehop, scroll back through your camera roll and look at where you were a year ago. Ether where you were physically (a location), or mentally (what state where you in.) Reflect and think of all that's occurred within that time period. Good and bad.

I went through my Snapchat memories and saw that I've developed so much as a person over the course of 18 years, so I wrote an article about everything I've learned.

All in all, write about something that you can write about! Find your inspiration.
