I Have Writer’s Block, and I Don’t Know How to Fix it.

I’ve hit a wall, crying emoji face.

It feels like my inspiration juices have stopped flowing, and I no longer know what to write about.

Two months ago, I felt like I was on fire. Writing blogs left and right while adjusting to a more demanding work schedule. I felt like a superhero.

A month ago, however, I hit a different wall physically and mentally.

I’ve spoken briefly about the struggles I’ve had these past few weeks. If you’d like to know the details, here you go.

I think I’ve hit a wall for two reasons.

One, I feel like I’ve written so much about self-development, emotional intelligence, and relationships that I don't know what else to share, and two, I don’t want to be repetitive for the sake of publishing a blog.

I definitely have ideas, but those ideas don’t revolve around writing.

They revolve around creating digital products like e-books (I’m hoping to launch my first one soon!), studying more about affiliate marketing, signing up for my first affiliate program, etc.

Basically, the ideas I’m focusing on don’t have to do anything with Medium.

Some may say, ‘Why don’t you write about what you’ve been doing?’ The thing is, I have, and I feel like if I continue, I would be re-organizing words and saying the same thing I said in another blog.

See what I mean by writer’s block?

Basically, I don’t know where to take my writing next.

I’m trying to think of other things I’ve been doing and what could be helpful. So maybe I’ll start looking at things that way, and hopefully, some ideas will start to pop up.

I will admit this sucks.

I’m at a point where I’m refocusing my energies on my side hustles so I can begin making strides toward becoming my own boss and, one day, making a full-time income from my computer.

This part of the journey is making me realize that not much actually goes according to plan.

We take action, and yes, that does push us in the general direction we want to go, but there are so many external factors out of our control that affect our plans, and we simply respond to those and adjust accordingly.

I’m trying to figure out how to adjust and respond to this new challenge. I haven’t figured it out yet, but I’m sure I will.

Persistence is necessary to make things work, so here I go.

One thing I will always try to prioritize is being open, honest, and raw about my struggles.

I think this is what people can relate to the most. The wins are great, but a lot of the time, we struggle in silence. I did in other areas of my life for years.

Being on this platform and having the opportunity to share gives me hope that writing about these moments that are not fun or pretty will help another person feel seen.

So like me, if you’re struggling with writer’s block, know this is not the end. This, too, shall pass.

If anything, this is a sign for me to look for other creative outlets and ideas to see where I can go next with my writing.

If you’ve made it to the end, thank you!
