Are You Unable To Write Anything Further After Giving Your Idea The Title?

When you don’t have anything to explain your idea then here is how you should go to get out of that blockage.

First of all, you’re not alone.

I feel that every damn time I think about starting writing on my 100+ ideas relaxing inside the draft box. And I think, many other writers feel that, too.

But why? A very simple answer: Just because it’s a damn common thing among the new writers.

But hey, I have good news. I have the solution. A solution that you can use to kick-start your writing process.

Okay. The above lines were just to excite you, otherwise, it’s just a damn basic thing to practice. Although, many people underestimate and ignore it because they want something that can work at some magical level.

But I warn you — don’t underestimate it.

Why? Simple. Because it works.

Okay. Enough of excitement build-up. Now back to the solution.

Do one simple thing, Just start it.

Now, the question is — what to start?

Start doing anything and everything that has any kind of connection to your idea. Read. Watch. Listen. Along with that, keep writing every idea that comes into your mind without caring about its order, exactness, and quality.

Now, let me explain.

You have the idea. You have the excitement. But you don’t have enough data points to convey your idea. Hence, you’re struggling to write even the first line of your article.

So first of all, gather enough data points.

But how? As you don’t know what exactly to start with you have to take the try and catch approach where you’ll scratch the different related things and see if anything helps you explain your idea. If you’ll find anything useful then you’ll see more about it else change the path.

Try placing different related keywords in the Google search box, hit enter, and go through the related articles, studies, and surveys. Read books written on the same thing. Visit websites like Quora and Reddit where people have discussed the same thing. Watch YouTube videos and listen to the related podcasts. Look through the comment sections of related social media posts and see what people are talking about as there are high chances that people will end up giving you the best ideas for your stories.

Once your brain will find enough information and evidence it’ll automatically start connecting the dots and generating ideas for your article, as you already have enough excitement.

But, while doing all this, there are a few things that you must have to prevent yourself from thinking about. Quality. Perfection. Order. And Exactness.

Here, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t care about the quality. In fact, thinking about quality is almost inevitable if you want to grow. But, the thing is you can do it later. You can shape your article once you’re done with producing enough raw content for your article.

Remember, you can always edit, arrange and re-arrange, and even rewrite any part of your article before publishing it. At any time you want, and as many times as you want. Then why worry? right?

Bothering your brain for quality and perfection won’t do any good other than just interrupting your brain from freely thinking about the idea. The dissatisfaction of not being able to convey your exact thinking will start frustrating you slowly. And as a result, you might even stop writing as well.

You know, even this article has gone through that same process. I didn’t have any idea what to write further just after writing the heading. But I just started. I looked for the ideas here and there, started writing things that came inside my mind, edited and rewrote them multiple times. And finally, here you are reading it.

Do you know a funny thing? The above paragraph has been written before the actual content above it. Even the current one as well. damn.

Okay. Now let me go above to write something related to the article.

Okay. I completed it.

So finally, you got it. right? Just start.
