For some people writing comes easy and I'm happy to say that I guess I am one of those individuals.
I always loved to read and write at every opportunity and never thought twice about it.
It still is an important part of my daily life.
A day without reading but especially without writing is unthinkable for me.
But looking at the numbers posted by different writers I realize that even writing 10 articles is a bit of a problem for some of my fellow writers.
Assuming that they would also like to output much higher numbers to market their goods and services at an expanded platform, I'd like to share some thoughts and two tips to help them write more and also enjoy more of what they write.
Probably the most fruitful approach would be to aim for the "Pure Opinion" category that EZ site has under the "News and Society" parent category.
Why? Writing your "pure opinions" might take away that "Oh my God, I'm not an expert!" anxiety that might be holding you back and preventing you from making music to that computer keyboard.
It's "pure opinion" after all, right? Who cares if it is "right" or "wrong"? Thinking that way may thaw your writer's block long enough to squeeze out a few articles rapidly.
Next tip - write about your emotions.
Usually passionate views and sentiments pour onto the paper much more easily.
When you feel the heat of a position and a stance burning in your belly, it is much easier to spew out the words that express that state of mind.
Don't worry if you think you are being "angry" or "just," "fair" or "unfair"...
What's important is to keep the words and sentences coming.
Passion pours onto the paper a lot more quickly than circumspection.
I truly believe that writing and reading are their own best guides and tutors.
Even if we start from the most ridiculous ideas and positions, if we only keep writing on that topic, in due time we get to see our shortcomings before anyone else does.
There is a self-correcting magic in writing that those who write regularly know quite well.
Just trust your heart and trust the process, and sit down and write why you HATE ..
...
(fill in the blanks), or why you LOVE ..
..
(fill in the blanks).
Or how you wish you WERE a ..
...
(fill in the blanks), living in ..
...
, doing ..
..
...
, and why ..
..
...
If you allow yourself the opportunity to get lost in your emotions you'll see that writing 250 interesting words of truth is not that hard a task at all.
See, since this is a topic that I really care about a lot (writing and the writer's block) I have no idea that I've already written 436 words.
And that also proves my whole point I suppose.
Happy emoting.
It's only "pure opinion.
" And you can do it.
Go for it! --
