I don't know what to write today

Glee greetings, !


I trust your night was restful and your dream not nightmarish. I have a confession to make: I don't know what to write to you today.


Yes, you heard me right. The person who writes you every day and preaches consistency is having a writer's block. How ironic, right?


But don't worry, , I'm not going to leave you hanging. I decided to write about not knowing whay to write by sharing with you some tips on how to overcome this common problem that every writer faces at some point.


Tip #1: Don't force it

Sometimes, the best thing to do when you don't know what to write is to take a break. Go for a walk, listen to some music, meditate, or do something else that relaxes you. You might find that your mind will come up with some ideas when you least expect it. This newsletter is one of such ideas.


Tip #2: Write something else

If you have a specific topic or project that you need to write about, but you can't seem to get started, try writing something else first. It could be a journal entry, some tips about writing, a letter to a friend, a poem, or anything that sparks your interest. This will help you warm up your writing muscles and get into the flow.


Tip #3: Use prompts

Sometimes, all you need is a little nudge to get your creative juices flowing. Some times, in times like this, I binge on X/Twitter posts, or quotes by classic creatives I admire. You can use prompts from books, websites, or apps that give you a word, a phrase, a question, or a scenario to write about. You can also use images, sounds, or objects as prompts. The key is to write whatever comes to your mind without censoring yourself.


Tip #4: Ask for help

If you're really stuck, don't be afraid to ask for help. Oftentimes I ask Girlie for ideas, if she's available at that moment of wordruptcy. You can reach out to other writers, friends, family, or even me for some feedback, suggestions, or encouragement. Don’t be shy to ask.


Tip #5: Have fun

Remember, writing is not a chore, but a joy. Yes, it's not too serious. Art should be fun. Nope! Art is fun. Making art is our mind making love to imaginations. So, don't put too much pressure on yourself to write something perfect or brilliant. Just write what you feel, what you think, what you want to say. If it's messy, so be it. There's beauty in every messy peice of art! Just flow with the tide of your muse and enjoy the process; the outcome will follow.


, I hope these tips will help you the next time you don't know what to write. And if you ever need more help, you know where to find me. I'm always here to support you and your writing journey.
