Have you ever?

The struggle is real.

Have you ever felt the urge to write something and then you are lost for thought halfway through or experienced a creative slowdown along the line? Or your head just feels blank and you don't even know what to write? That's the struggle of writers. It is called writer's block.

You don't need to feel bad about this, we don't seem to get the inspiration all the time, sometimes the inspiration comes when you're about to lay your head to sleep, or probably because you're experiencing something similar, or from people around you, one can get inspired.

Have you ever thought of what could be the cause?
It could be that you lack the right resources, or you're not giving it enough time, or you're waiting for the perfect article to publish and so you fear failure or rejection from your readers.

So what then can you do?
Try something new.

We must have time alone, try thinking outside the box, and be observant of the things around us, nature, people, situations, and things that can inspire us to write.

Avoid self-doubt? The feeling of not being good enough can always be the cause of this condition.

Stop shoving all the ideas you come up with. Try and develop the ideas into something meaningful.

Create a creative habit.
When you feel inspired write as many articles as you can and save them as a draft. Make a regular schedule for this.

Create a niche.
You don't have to write on every topic, are you good at poems? Fiction? DIY? Or facts? Find what you're good at and give it your best.

Read.
Reading and research help you gain more ideas now and then. Find good books to read and occupy your mind with.

Create a title
Creating a title before you write might give you a sense of direction.

Join a writing community. This community helps you with prompts that inspire you to write, it could be on a picture or a particular topic, endeavor to join these prompts regularly.

Might it be stress?
Your brain is probably telling you to get some rest, take a walk in the park, see some movies and do something else in the meantime.

Have I ever experienced this?
Yes, so many times. So please don't feel you're alone in this.

Will I give up on writing?
No, never and not even anytime soon will I ever give up on writing. It was a struggle to write this article, but here I am, I could finish up this post with tips to help others with this battle.

Have you ever experienced this struggle? Can you share your tips on how you overcome yours?
