I have read many articles here in which people are using the not-so-ideal situations to do something valuable. I will do the same.
If I remember it right, it was in one of Mr. @Fexonice1 ' articles that he said something along the lines of "When you can't write something, use this situation as an opportunity to write about it."
You might say it sounds confusing. Writing about not being able to write something? What in the world does that mean? I am not sure, too. But this is what I'll try to do tonight.
To start it with, it has been a tiring day today, and for some reason, I feel really sleepy. I think too much sleep is not good for me. It's a first time in a long time that I slept for almost four hours on a siesta, and slept earlier when night came. When morning came, I felt more sleepy than when I got little sleep. I don't know what paradoxical thing just happened, but that's how it went. I still sometimes don't understand how my body works.
Speaking about how today went, I have already ascertained that I could not write something of formal nature tonight.
This is just one of the major reasons why I could not write oftentimes. Exhaustion. The daytime job of mine occupies most of my day and the remaining hours for sleep and dinner, are compressed, so I could write something before the day ends. I feel relieved whenever I see myself still being able to publish something even with a tired mind. The efforts are worth it, because I know I have persevered for another night.
So, when you won't see me publishing something for a day, maybe tiredness got the best of me.
Second possible reason is lacking the will to write. It's not just the simple term "laziness". Because I know in myself that in a particular time, I am eager to write, but I just can't find the will to. Let me give you a situation. When I get into a fight with a family, for example, I use the time alone to try and scribble something. But sad thoughts distract me and I end up not writing any sensible at all. It's hard for me to write when I am invaded with negative thoughts. This can also mean lacking inspiration nor motivation to write, due to some personal reasons, or uncontrollable situations. On lucky days, I can force my brain to write, but on rare occasions, I just choose to leave the draft blank. And with that, I miss another day.
The third one is a wee bit funny and honest, and I am sure I am not alone. I have mentioned it earlier, it's laziness. There are just days where I prefer to continue a nice series I started, so I can't focus on thinking of ideas to write. It's still a good thing, though, that I can't go on inactive for more than two days, so I always make sure to come back to what's more important. You know, these movies and series can wait.
The most common reason for me is this one: Writer's block. We have different ways to interpret this one, and the most common is lacking the ideas to write, no matter how we try to squeeze our brains of. To me, it also means one more thing: Lots of ideas, that I can't choose what to write about. Everywhere we look, there are lots of possible topics to write about, they never run out. Yet, they can be too overwhelming that I end up not writing a single thing. See? Lots of reasons, and I think you can relate. Right?
These are just some of my own reasons as to why I miss a day or two here in blogging. I wish I were like the othe legends here who can consistently publish everyday, and even do more things after that, despite their own busy days. I aspire to be one of them, so everyday, I take action to make that happen.
Do you also have your reasons that you can't write anything? Are those reasons same as mine? Or do you have more to add? Please let me know in the comment section, because we may have similar thoughts, and I just forgot some.
As I told myself, I will just take things slow this month. I won't force myself if I can't, but I will try to push as long as I still can. This is the Day 12th of me following this mindset, and I feel that it helped me a lot. Not much pressure, and more fun. I also see myself improving in some areas, and I feel satisfied with my progress. Why? Because I look up to others who achieve more, but I don't compare myself to them anymore. I just enjoy my own pace, and achieve things little by little.

Yes, a day late on my end, because I slept again while trying to finish this one. I will do my best to catch up with that one missed day, until I can publish based on the right date again.
I really have lots of things to do still, after this. I never run out of activities LOL. I still have to do some laundry and iron some uniforms before sleeping. I wish I can finish early, I still have work tomorrow.
How's your day, today? Let's have some more chitchats below!

Sometimes my reason lies on the lack of interest in pushing with the topic. That is the reason why I have lots of unfinished drafts that I cannot find myself continuing them either.
