To All Writers Who Feel Unmotivated To Write Today

It’s not just you who can’t write there are many on the list

I don’t know what to write today. It’s like any other day when I really don’t want to write anything.

I thought let’s give a break to myself today but my mind was not ready to do so. As today is not the weekend. If it must be weekend, then I must have taken a break positively but my thoughts were telling me to write even if I don’t want to.

Right now, even I have an ample amount of ideas in my Google notes but my mind was not ready to write on those topics. So, I started writing this for my happiness as I thought I will create something out of it.

So I want to share a list of encouragement when you feel you can’t write. This will help you to write so that you can create one of your best masterworks.

1. Sit silently somewhere and write a note to yourself in a way that can help others

I know many people go through this phase of writing when they literally can’t write someday. It’s not that they don’t have ideas. It’s a mind who doesn’t let them write.

So here I am in the same phase.

I am sitting on the sofa without anyone around me and started writing something to make my thoughts calm down. As I started writing I had a feeling that this article will be close to my heart as I am working without taking a break.

So, silence and alone time can make you do your work. Listening to your mind will help you to create ideas in a way that will guide others. You will realize that silence can make you learn as it has so many things to say and it will inspire you like magic.

“Silence isn’t empty, it’s full of answers.”

2. Don’t force yourself to write something from your Google notes list.

I had an idea in my mind that I am going to write on a certain topic today. But when I started writing I really thought I can’t.

I started losing my day for writing. The time which I have slotted for my writing was just going downhill. Despite having a plan, today turned out to be another day spent writing nothing. I don’t write on somedays but it’s disappointing to find I cannot write on days when I intended to.

So, don’t force yourself on days when your mind says you can’t write on certain topics.

Listen to your body what it is saying because if you force it’s going to be tough. At times, you will feel like giving up. Instead, leave that topic for a while and start understanding what your mind wants to speak.

Take a break if you want and come back later with a fresh mind and when you are ready.

3. Instead start writing what your mind says

That’s what I am doing.

I am writing what is coming from my heart. When I started writing this piece I really didn’t have any idea about what to write but as I started typing things started to flow automatically.

So, when your plan-A doesn’t work start with a plan-B. Start writing from your heart and you will get in the flow of writing. It’s not hard, it’s the easiest of all. As random trips create the best memories so this article will create the best memories for me.

Make sure to know your emotions and understand them. Be vulnerable, write what your heart wants to say as someone will relate to it.

Writing is not about money. It’s all about feelings and the way it impacts our soul. As for me, writing is a need for my body. It may be in my journal or maybe through a post.

So do what works for your heart, body, and soul. Keep yourself healthy by listening to your heart. As you become a writer when you start writing what your mind says.

“When you write from the heart, you not only light the dark path of your readers, you light your own way as well.”

-Marjorie Holmes

4. Don’t think what people will think

I know someone must have left my article before even coming to this paragraph but I don’t mind.

Note that everyone will not like it but someone on the earth may love your writing. Write to those people, write for yourself, and write for your healthy mind. So don’t give a glance at what people think instead just write what you want to say.

As Tim Denning says, write, publish, and start with next.

That’s what I am doing.

Final Thoughts

It’s hard to write but somedays you need to help yourself to write. At times, it won’t work but you need to try. As somedays, you may create a masterpiece by your own hand.

Write with true heart and break the rules someday. Most importantly share it. Don’t hesitate about the negative feeling and people's opinions instead of just publish and leave.

“You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.”

-Richard Branson
