How I Never Run Out Of Writing Ideas

How I decide what to write

I just checked my list of writing ideas. I have 14 drafts on Medium, 4 drafts on my website blog, and 35 title prompts in my notes.

That surprised even me.

It is an understatement to say that I have more article ideas than time to write them, especially considering that I started these lists less than a month ago.

I like evaluating my behavior to find patterns and potential modifications to optimize my time and results. It’s almost an obsession.

So, i was thinking, how did I get to the point of having more ideas than time, when writers usually complain about the opposite?

Well, first and foremost, because I only write in my spare time. So an article a day is usually all I can handle.

Also, these articles will probably turn out to be short and concise. Just the way I like and can handle them. Yay ADHD!

But the reason I have so many drafts is because I keep track of everything.

I treat my readers like my best friends. If I conclude anything in life, I will tell my BFF. Why not tell you then? You may find it insightful too…

For example, if one day I find out about how and why I managed to find a good job so quickly, I will write my thoughts down on a note or draft, and later turn them into an article. Maybe one of my readers will benefit from my learning. Maybe not…

Did I drop the ball and take better care of my mental health? I don’t think I will never read enough about the topic. So I may as well join the conversation, and add my two cents.

So my content-planning strategy is not planning.

Instead, unless there’s something I feel the urge to share, I look at my list of ideas every time I have a chance to sit down.

I pick one and start writing whatever comes up, as if I were telling a friend. Then I review it a couple of times and I hit submit.

My writing won’t be perfect. But I don’t want it to be perfect.

I want my writing to be real and relatable.

I may have written this with just one hand, my non-dominant hand, because my toddler NEEDED my right boob ASAP… so appologies if there’s any typo…

I’m always happy if you want to cover my next Fair Trade Match Latte.

I’ll use a reusable cup, I promise!
