You Have a Lot to Write About
Remember these 4 things when you feel like you have nothing to offer
For what felt like the millionth time, I stared at my screen, trying to come up with a post for my blog that would help people. After all, we’re all busy and nobody wants to waste their time reading something that’s not helpful or wildly entertaining.
But, trapped by feelings of insufficiency, I couldn’t think of anything to write about that would be helpful for anyone else.
That’s when I realized that I was thinking about it all wrong. Instead of focusing on how my experiences can help others, I was focusing on what I think other people need to hear. In that faceless void, it’s not hard to understand why I wasn’t thinking of anything.
Without a specific audience, there’s no need to meet.
And without thinking of specific experiences, I have no expertise to speak from.
If you’re like me and you’ve ever gotten stuck, maybe these tips will help you. Instead of staring at the screen and trying to dream up a post that will help everyone in the world, use these tools to figure out what you have to write about.
