These days, I have been seeing a lot of writers here getting stressed about writing and sharing their struggles about it. I don't know if it's a prompt or not but it's somewhat a trend right now. May they are beginners or not, they share similar struggles. I wouldn't lie to all of you here. I also have my struggles in writing, so let me join this trend. I would like to share what's on my mind about this topic also.

Here's some of them:

Topics. Sometimes, there are days that my mind is messed up and I can't decide what particular topics should I write about on that day. There are also times that my head is empty and no matter how much I squeeze some juices of ideas out of it, I just can't generate one. Also, on rare occasions when I'm busy doing some real-life tasks, I have forgotten the topic that I was supposed to write about, and I can't think what was that again.

Knowledge About The Topic. Here's another thing also, I have a topic but I don't know how to explain it well. I know what is it but I can't expand the thought. Sometimes, even when I did some research about it, the ideas aren't still sinking in.

Limited Vocabulary. I admit that I'm not that good at English since it's not my mother tongue. I can't also write my topics in purely Filipino because it's also not my mother tongue, though I'm a Filipino. I grow up speaking a different dialect so learning those two languages is stressing my mind since I was young until now, but gladly, I still managed to learn it. When I write, my English is just simple. As long as I can write my thoughts well, I guess that's fine. Right? I'm still on my journey of learning more about that languages and I'm trying to expand my vocabulary every day.

I can still remember when I'm a beginner here. Read.cash was still new and it was still using a point system for us to earn. I only published one paragraph per article here back then until the system changed and Rusty set a rule yet saying, "Articles below 600 words would get 10 times smaller tips". That's when I started writing 600 words per article. If I didn't get threatened, I wouldn't take the initiative to write longer articles.

Procrastination. When I started writing here, I often tend to procrastinate since I'm not setting my goals when I'm a beginner. I just love to write so that's what I did. I only write here whenever I want back then. I'm not even worrying if how many views did my article get, did someone left a comment, or Rusty liked it and give many upvotes. I never worry about those back then. I just chill and do some unprofitable stuff on the Internet and procrastinate from writing. My first account here also got spammed because of inactivity. I have never posted for 3 months and when I came back, I didn't receive upvotes from Rusty anymore. I don't know if some of you can still remember the account, @Ching? Yes, that's me and now I'm @Ayane-chan —the complete opposite of Ching right now.

Did you have the same worries as my old self?

That's alright. Everybody can understand that. Some tips can end that worries, though. Read the following tips below to know more.

I have posted this thought also on my noise.cash account. I just want to expand the thought further here, just in case you haven't seen it there.

If you can't think of what to write about or you are having writer's block right now, maybe you can try these:

Explore Other Genres. Sticking in your genre is good because it can build your brand. Still, it's not all the time that you can write things all about it. You can reach your limit at any moment and you will wonder what other things that you can write about in that genre. It's stressful to think about what you have missed out on. Then, what to do? Write some other genres sometimes, just a segway, so you can't dry your brain from thinking the same genres every day. It's fun to be a versatile writer, you know.

Join Prompts And Challenges. I think all of us here know about this already. Some writers here are posting some challenges and prompts sometimes. You better try to join one of those to take a break from overusing your brain. Let your brain relaxed for quite some time. There's that community here by Miss Jonica Bradley named PromptlyJonica. She is posting there a prompt once every week. You can write endless articles about them with no deadlines. As many as you can, anytime and anywhere, as long as your article is exclusive and not plagiarized.

Another one like this also is the #promptfactory of Meitanteikudo. Just click the search bar above and search for that hashtag. You can see there are a lot of prompts written by different writers here who include that hashtag in their articles. You can also look for the initiator's profile himself if you can't find that on the results.

Look For Random Questions. Some of the writers here also do this when having writer's block, which includes me every time I'm having one. Just look for this challenge here or you can search it on google. You can see a lot of that there. You can also search for the Random Questions Generator website. You just have to set the number of questions and click generate, then TADA!!! It's right there, ready for you to answer in your most creative way. 

Read more articles. Reading is a gateway to a world full of unlimited ideas. It can also unlock some related ideas in your mind. That's why you should read more every day. You have to fill that brain, every time you feel that it's empty. It is also the key to improve your vocabulary and expand your learnings. This is what I also do every time that I can't think of a particular topic to write about. I wouldn't just read articles here but anywhere. I scroll on social media platforms, read the newspapers to get some news, articles on the Google homepage, and blogs from my favorite bloggers.

That's all of the tips I'm also using to achieve writing articles every day. I hope that it can be a help to you, especially to those beginners here.
