As a writer or blogger, one of the most important thing we need to consider is the condition of our mind. Are we inspired to write today? Or we just want to be lazy and do nothing but sleep?
To be honest with you guys, writing is not easy because you are not just using your hands, You also using your mind and there are times that your mind won't make you think of anything but rest and sleep. It is hard to make a good content if you are not inspired to write.
Are there reasons why we couldn't even make a first paragraph? The answer is Yes!
Here are some of the reasons why:
- Social Media
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tinder etc etc. This is one of my problem too. It's true that these apps can consume our time because we are spending too much posting things, commenting on a post, and sharing content or whatever it is but do we realize that what we are actually doing is just a waste of time and effort? Well, I'm telling you now. It's just a waste of time because you are not earning from it.
- Lack of Energy.
There are times that you feel so lazy and you just want to rest and sleep. You don't even want to go out because you feel so exhausted eventhough you just woke up. Yes, It's happening to us sometimes but what should we do to avoid these things?
3.Priorities and Responsibilities.
Not all writers are single, some of us are married and have their own family. Some has children as well. These things can be considered as responsility because you also need to spend your time for your family.
Some has work. They need to work 9 hours a day and spend a little time in writing. Some are still studying and they need to spend their time reviewing what they have learned from school.
It is really hard to write if you have lots of responsibilities and priorities but the point is, how will you manage your time?
- Business
Some writers have business and need focus. Yes, personally, I do have my own business to focus on. It's very time consuming that I don't even get a chance to write for five straight days. We all have 24 hours a day and we need at least 7 to 8 hours sleep a day but when you have business it's impossible to focus on writing.
- Grammar Problem.
Me, personally. That is my weakness when I started writing. It is very important that you know the proper way of using grammars because there are rules in English that is hard to understand sometimes and if you don't know the rules in English langauge, You will end up stressing yourself because you don't even know if your sentence is right or wrong.
How we can make a solutions with this problems?
Here's my simple solution.
Uninstall those apps that is not really important and is just consuming your time. Just focus on the important things like reading a motivational, educational, and inspirational content or blog.
After work, study, or business matters, sleep early and get at least 8 hours sleep. Wake up early and refresh your mind. Do you know that the best time to write is 5am? Yes it is!
For those who have responsibilities at home. Try to make all things organize first before you start writing because it will help you focus on writing.
Eat healthy meals like fruits and vegetables. Water is badly needed. 1.5 liters is required. I am suggesting these because it will help you think right.
Think of something or someone that will inspire you to write, get a scratch paper and start to write.
If your problem is grammar and you want to learn it, the best teacher is Youtube and Google if you can't afford to pay English classes. Just search "Subject Verb Agreement". Watch it everyday anf it will help you grow your knowledge.
One more thing, because grammar is my problem too. I decided to enroll at Niners Review Center to improve my writing and speaking skills. I highly recommend Niners Review Center because of their standard of teaching. You will learn a lot from them. You can google their website and page.
