Although I absolutely love writing for Odyssey, writing an article every week can get difficult. After a while, your ideas run out, and sometimes, you may feel uninspired. I'm going through one of those times right now. I have no inspiration on what to write about and I'm struggling.
As I'm sitting here in this Starbucks, trying to beat this writer's block, it hit me. I can write about the struggles of not having any ideas.
I mean, I have tons of ideas, but none of them would be enough for an article. I'll probably eventually get to writing about them, but I want those certain articles to be good and have some good information in them.
The ideas I have aren't opinion-based topics. They are topics in which I need to research, and they are pretty important to me. So, therefore, I want to spend a good amount of time on them. Also, I'm too stressed out at this moment to create a good enough piece for the topics I have in mind.
I usually don't procrastinate writing articles this badly, but this week, as I said, I have no inspiration. It has been a very hectic week.
Writer's block sucks and you can't really beat it because, every once in a while, it'll come for you. I found that it's even worse when you're really stressed, anxious, and trying your hardest to think of a topic quickly.
Usually, when it hits me, I think about all the things I'm interested in and current topics that are important to me.
Today, however, I cannot think of anything. Writer's block sucks, but everyone has to deal with it eventually.
My advice to you: write down ideas you have and some key points when they pop up in your mind. Also, don't procrastinate because that will just make it worse.
