When I first joined online writing, I was lost in the crowd.  I didn’t know where to start and I just stared at the blank screen on my computer and thought of nothing to write.  I thought, how do some people manage to write too much and yet they still have so many good ideas to write about?

When I found what I wanted to write about, it was then that the words flowed smoothly in my brain and my fingers started tapping the computer keys automatically just like a pro.

Writing is about how you love it.  It is about the ideas that pop into your mind.  No matter how much you want to write, it sometimes just doesn’t go that way.  You always have times when you seem so far away and you cannot even write one word.  Writers have different ways to combat the writer’s block when faced with it.

I do it by taking a break for a while.  I just sit down and close my eyes without thinking of anything.  After a while I do some stretching then go back to work on my computer.  Things are not always the same.  There are times when it takes a longer time to get back my senses to writing something and there are also times when it takes just a few minutes for my mind to go blank before it wants to do something.

Just give yourself what it wants and you will be doing fine.  What I found out about writing is that once my mind was set to work, it doesn’t stop thinking of good ideas.  In that case I try to write as much as I can before I stop and do other things.  It is not good to use all your time writing.  It is always good to do other things that you love. 

The beauty of writing is that while you sit there tapping the keys of your computer, you also feel so relaxed when you are in the mood to write.  Writing is a job that does not tire the body and mind; instead it is a job that relaxes the mind and body.  I consider writing some form of a trance that when done the right way will make the body so relaxed that sometimes the mind works so fast while the fingers  grope for the letter to tap.   Writing is so mind relaxing.

If you want to achieve a writing career; the best way to do it is to practice writing every day.  Write, write and write.  If you stop writing, you will be starting all over again once you decide to write again but if you don’t stop writing, you are doing it and you are going the right way. 

There are lots of resources online where you can find ways to improve your writing.  If you have good grammar, then you can write anything you want to write about.  If you are resourceful enough, you can do research work and you have something to write.  Just make writing a part of your everyday life and you will be able to achieve a writing career.  Ideas should always come first before writing.  You can just look around and you can find ideas to write about.  Writers are never short of ideas if only they look elsewhere.

It is not easy to become a writer especially if the language you are using is not your native language but if you persevere and try hard to write and write, you will soon become a better writer.  You do the work and your wish will soon be granted.  That is how writers work.
