I’ve come to realize my writing, like me, is in the process of evolving.

I just haven’t figured out where I’m going yet.

The topics I’ve been writing about — self-development, dating, and relationships — I wrote about them because they were at the forefront of my life and my main priority.

Not to say that they aren’t anymore. It’s more like I’ve come to a place where my learning curve has evened out, more or less.

You know how at the beginning of something new, you’re learning so much, and your brain is looking at all kinds of possibilities and directions?

Well, I’ve found my one direction in these areas. I’m settled in my relationship and my personal growth habits.

I also feel I’m becoming repetitive with my ideas.

I feel like I’m just refurbishing old ones from when I wasn’t very good at expressing my thoughts at the start of my writing journey.

What I’m struggling with right now the most is my health, and I’ve written a few blogs about it and hope to continue doing so.

As that journey unfolds, I would like to continue writing about my other side hustles like Pinterest and creating my first digital product — I will be releasing it soon, most likely on Gumroad and another platform to start. Wish me luck!

But as I settle into those projects, I find I’m not coming up with other ideas.

Before, I was so ready to share about my personal growth and development journey, but now, it feels like all I’m doing is rinsing and repeating. It’s feeling, dare I say, boring to write about it.

It feels like I don’t have anything important or valuable to share at this moment.

Maybe I’m overly criticizing my ideas. Either way, it’s been a challenge to write these past few weeks because of it.

If anyone has any ideas they’d like to share about how to overcome writer’s block, please share — I would be sincerely grateful for the help.

I do plan to keep writing while working through this creative hump.

My blogs may be on different topics I haven’t addressed before or ideas/opinions that may spark at a moment's notice. Either way, I don’t plan on putting a stop to publishing here on Medium.

So there is some good news.

Have you struggled with writer’s block before? If so, how were you able to overcome it?
