Thinking what to write isn't easy

December 5, 2021

I woke up 3AM, not as planned because I planned to wake up earlier than 3AM since I knew in myself that I had the hard time on thinking what to write and how to start the write ups. So, it may take time for me to finish an article. It's also one of the reasons why I can't write daily. My goal to write daily wasn't achieved until now. Because after work, I've got exhausted which I can't clearly thought on what topic or ideas I should write or even experiences that I want to share.

Thinking what to write...

When writing, it's not about writing everything that comes to our mind because we knew there are also thoughts that comes to our mind that aren't sensible at all.

In my case, when I had to write something it really takes time for me to think of an idea, experiences that are worth writing. Worth writing means, if that experiences of mine has the lessons or reflections that the reader can reflect on. I'm not saying that all my articles were good because at first I'm not a good writer.

I even remember when I was first introduced into this platform, I said that I won't signed up or if I signed up I'm not sure if I'll continue or not because the thought that it's about writing articles, own articles within at least 4-minute reading time already a struggle for me. Because first, I'm not a good reader therefore it affects in my thought that I can't write good articles. Second, I'm not that good at English language. That's why as you observed the words I usually used in my articles are just common words because I don't know some other words that are somehow a deep words or a poetic words. On the other hand, I never imagined that I could able to write an article with at least the required reading time but still I end up I can.

When I thought, I can't but I can.

So, when I decided to signed up I then tried to write article. My first topic actually is all about my experiences. Here's what I learned. When I wrote article that are based from my experiences I never had the hard time to think on what will be my next sentence and paragraphs. Reaching it to a 4-minute reading time once it's about experiences isn't hard for me. That is why, when I started to be hooked here in this platform because as well of Rusty I mostly wrote articles based on experiences. But sometimes, it's hard for me because before I published every articles I wrote I'll re-read it first and tried to add something that my readers would reflect on or the lessons that they may learned after reading my articles. But still I was able to wrote something and published articles more almost 9 months now.

At first, that was just so easy for me because I still have lots in my head, lots of experiences that I wanted to share. But as time pass by, since I'm almost 9 months of writing here I can no longer thought of what to write. I had now the hard time on thinking what to write. Also, my mind were so tired especially that I had worked which also engaged on paper works and discussions. Most of the time, I can't able to think on something good write ups of such reason. I'm tired, my mind is tired.

When I also woke up early, because my planned is to wake up early so that I can able to write and published articles early since during day I don't have time and during night I also don't have a signal in here. So, I had no other choice but to wake up early and write just like what I did now.

But, as what I've said sometimes my mind, body and fingers won't cooperate.

So, the ending. There are those days that I don't have any published articles. Sometimes, 3 to 4 consecutive days that I can't write something and can't published anything.

But still, just thankful as well that even there are those days that I can't write an article but I can assure that in a month or within ever month I can able to published more than 10 articles. So, not bad at all.

Now, how about you? Do you also have difficulty on thinking what to write? or Were you able to published daily?

Have a great day!
