So here I am, sitting down at my desk (really its a dining room table but really who cares) to write my article. I pick up my cell phone to pull up my notes app to check and see all of the article ideas I came up with throughout the past week so I can begin working on my article. Hold my finger to the scanner, open my app and to my dismay, the notes are black. I came up with nothing this week. I have nothing to write about
That's alright. That’s okay. I can come up with something. I am a relatively creative person. I setup my iPad on its stand grab my keyboard and link everything up. Open the app and I am ready to write.
Five minutes, ten minutes, thirty minutes and the screen is still blank. I grab a snack from the kitchen so I can take a small beak. Back at it. Thirty minutes, one hour, two hours and still no progress. Oh no, what am I going to do. I really need to get this article in, but I don't have anything to write about. What to do, what to do. Okay, stop. Take a deep breath. Just relax and focus. What can I write about? What can I write about?
Ping!
What was that? Oh it's just my cell phone. Who is it? It’s my editor in chief and he is wondering where my article is. I glance at the time on my iPad and I realize that my article is officially late. He has a deadline to. What am i going to do. I've got to submit something and preferably soon. I start typing, and then deleting. Typing and deleting. The process continues as I start writing and rewriting. No matter how many articles I start I just can't seem to get one going. Writer's block.
I get up and start to look around. Something will inspire me. I just need to think. Ah ha! An idea has popped into my head. I know what I can write about. I sit back down at my tablet and start to think of how to start it. As I finally begin typing, I realize why the article suddenly popped into my head. I’ve read it before. It’s one of my earlier articles. I was digging so deep in my mind that I pulled one of my old articles out. Oh now what? Now what to do.
Ping!
Another text from the editor. He asking if I need article ideas and that is when it hits me. The perfect article idea for my current situation. I know what I am going to write about.
I am going to write about not having anything to write about.
