A Small Misconception Between New Writers
Fix it to write more.
The misconception: I’ll write when I’ll get ideas.
The reality: You’ll get ideas when you’ll dedicatedly sit down for writing.
A small misconception could cost a lot of your time. It can hold you back from taking meaningful action. Hence realizing and fixing it early as possible is too essential before it wastes more of your time.
But as I said, you need a realization before you could fix it. Otherwise, you’ll just keep living with it.
When I initially started writing on Medium I used to procrastinate thinking that I’ll start writing once a good idea hits my mind. And because of that, I wasn’t even able to write a single fuc*king article in a whole month.
But after writing a few articles I noticed one pattern. Every time I sat down and started writing I got bombarded with more and more ideas. When I got involved in the writing process I started researching more, reading more, and thinking more, and then more and more ideas started clicking inside my head. I realized that I was thinking wrong that I would not be able to write right now. I was wrong that I would run out of ideas.
Here, the most important thing is you’ve to convince yourself to sit down for writing even if you don’t have any idea or mood to write. After that start writing about anything that comes into your mind. Start looking for similar things on the internet. Read related articles on that topic. And most importantly believe in your brain.
Once your brain will get enough data and context it’ll automatically start connecting dots and generating ideas and content for you. Then what? just dump everything that clicks into your brain, write as much as you can and then edit and publish once you’re done with enough content.
