Inspiration Is Never In Short Supply

There’s always something to write about

There was a point a few months ago when I thought I would have nothing left to write about. I had a few more ideas lined up, but beyond that, I was struggling to come up with any more.

I remember thinking to myself, “What am I going to do in a few weeks when I’ve run out of ideas?”

My mind was drawing blanks and no matter where I went, or where I looked, I struggled to come up with any new ideas for my blog posts.

It was a few weeks after this, that the ideas started to flow again.

I’m not sure what started it. Maybe, it was the trips that I went on. Taking myself out of my usual settings may have helped my creative juices to flow.

I don’t know.

What I do know is that I started to see inspiration all around me.

Seemingly trivial events became ideas that I could write about. My mind had opened up and I was more receptive to interpreting what I was seeing and writing about it.

It’s easy to think you have nothing left to write. It’s a common concern for writers.

But the truth is, inspiration is everywhere. We just need to look for it.

No Ideas
