5 Very Easy Things To Do If You Can’t Think of Anything To Write
You know how it goes: You have grand ambitions for writing and the next thing you know you’re looking up the history of the harmonica and researching how to make your own beef jerky.
You also know how it feels to scroll your life away on Medium, looking for tips, tricks and inspiration. Some of these articles are helpful, some are more of the same old story: Research and write about what people are reading! Just sit down and start writing! Don’t research — write about your passions!
After a while, reading tips and tricks just becomes a tactic to distract yourself. You KNOW it’s true. I mean, that’s probably what you’re doing right now.
I started writing on Medium a little over a year ago and I’ve published a handful of articles, but most of them have been curated. I’ve had three publications feature my articles and I was recently named a Top 50 writer under #blacklivesmatter and #racism. A recent post received almost five thousand reads.
Now you might say, YOU SURE HAVEN’T PUBLISHED A LOT, Tara. And to that, I would agree, but what I have published has been fairly successful. I’m confident in my skills and I know where to look for ideas.
Ideas are 95% of the battle.
