Challenges And Frustrations Of Article Writing And How To Overcome Them!

Article writing is not everybody’s forte. I know we are told to force ourselves to write everyday even when we experience writers’ block. However, making yourself do something you really do not want to, can be counter-productive and a sure way to hate what you are doing and want to avoid it at all costs.
So, if you are pulling your hair out trying to write articles that just do not seem to flow or you feel stuck, here are some ways to help you over the hurdle:
1. Take a break. If you have had enough and are bored witless of article writing, take some time out to refresh yourself. Go for a walk or do something creative that you enjoy giving your mind time to recover from thinking.
2. Turn your challenges into articles. Whenever you have a problem to overcome, you can use what you learn from the experience as material for article writing that others can benefit from.
3. What’s the hurry? It is not a race. Do not feel pressured to write a number of articles in any one day. Some days you may feel like writing a lot and other days you may feel flat and do not want to write a thing, so honour how you feel and slow down. By following your feelings, you will be more productive in the long run.
4. Write about what you love. This will keep you motivated and excited. It is no use trying to churn out articles about something you really have no interest in because that will come across in the article. Write with passion and people will be enthused and inspired when they read your work.
5. Acceptance and trust. When things go wrong, when your computer breaks down or some family situation rears its head leaving you little time to write, it is not use getting frustrated and angry. Just accept and trust that for some reason, you are not meant to be writing at this time. It may be that these things are happening to actually help you find new material for your article writing that will help others in some way.
Article writing is a skill that takes patience and time to learn in order to succeed. If we honour how we feel and what we are capable of on any given day, then we will maintain our enthusiasm and continue writing for many years to come.
