I have tried to write an article for this week and last week’s online newspaper publication, and I noticed that I had literally no idea what to write about. So, I thought I would discuss some ways to gain inspiration to help with writer’s block:
Listen to Music
Whenever I can’t write, I try to listen to music to boost my thinking just a bit. This usually works for me.
Go For a Drive
This is one I use if I have a lot of time, and I want to get out of my house. Another great choice.
Self Reflection
Think about your day or week and take some inspiration from the things you did. I’ve had some success with this when I really have no thoughts about what to write.
Go Outside
This one is very relaxing to do, and it works very well.
Read Other People’s Writings
Take some inspiration from people who are much better than you at writing: read some books or poems to try to kickstart your creative thinking.
I hope this helps a little bit if you ever get stuck trying to write an article or essay that you are unsure of what the topic will be!
