What to write when you don’t know WHAT TO WRITE?

Oh, God! Is this happening again? Why I’m not getting the words to start a new piece of content? Why I’m so blank? Do these mind blunders just happen to me or someone else also gets those issue while starting a good work?🥴

So, guys! Have you ever developed a situation, when you are ready with your laptop, grabbed a perfect cup of your favourite coffee, assigned a perfect place to work constantly and gosh! You are out of every thought, every sign of content you wished to write. You don’t know where to begin. That’s what exactly happening to me right now.🤓 Well, nothing to worry. Let’s make this issue, a content. As I’m sure many of us being involved with everyday chores, endless work pressures and managing each and every bit of energy to stay productive, couldn’t manage to sit and do what we actually want to. Let’s face this and overcome this specific time lapsing error!

You are not alone, everyone faces that same question at some stage of writing journey-don’t give up, go with the flow!

What have I been avoiding lately?

People trying to avoid things like reading, parties, long talks, relationship or work.

So, this is something that every person tend to do. Avoid! Dip into the question and start finding the reasons behind avoiding something. This may be anything a book, a blog post, a contest, a personal issue or whatever it is. Just grab it. Try to be honest with yourself. Start finding the solutions- where the avoidance is coming from? What are the excuses I made, just to avoid this scenario, and so on? Sometimes, questioning self brings a powerful beginning for the struggles and topics that inspire more self-knowledge.


When we write about a topic that explores our life’s journey, writing becomes an aid for our own healing and self-actualization.


My last post on people-pleasing is completely based on this theory! I was dealing with avoiding a group get-together. I just settled and started putting down the reasons behind avoiding such cases. I came up with a great content to share with you guys. I’m glad I did, I got outstanding responses. I enlightened myself with a new piece of knowledge.
I’m not the only one dealing with these issues. The sole option is to overcome it with your positive attitude and help others to do the same.

Check out what’s happening around!

What are the different sources of information? This includes social media and outlets.

This is my second best option when I’m out of words. I just look around what’s happening. If you are searching for some crucial issues or hot topics to write on you will easily get it on Buzzsumo.com. Here you can fetch some really awesome topics to know what is happening in your industry. Type in any website or topic, and you’ll quickly see a list of the most-shared posts for your target market.
Everyday life also rewards us with a lot of topics to be thankful about. Recently, my 6 yrs old wanted to write a blog post without knowing what it actually is. She engraved a beautiful piece with of course a lot of mistakes, but she too enlightened me with some great thoughts about taking care of those, who need us the most. I’m delighted, how a small mind can generate those enormous beautiful emotions for everyone around.

“Hello, friends,
If you have unused clothes or unused toys, we should give them to poor people. If you want to share money or food, you should do it too. We should teach poor children, who don’t have parents. I also give them money to buy toys. We should help those people who are living on the roadside because its very cold out there, its raining. Coronavirus is very dangerous and those who are poor, they have no homes. Some people only help rich people. But, we should always help those who are poor.
Stay home stay safe”.

Ask your readers!

Trying to ask questions to readers from different social links.

When you are out of thoughts, just open up your mailing list. Show some love and gratitude to your readers. Gift them some pleasing write-ups and try to formulate a small survey regarding what your audience expects you to compose. Use tools like surveymonkey.com to create a survey and ask your readers what they have questions about. If you are having an active social media channel, that works, too!

Writing about your failure!

Overcoming negativity by creating positivity inside. Negativity includes money loss, bad relationship and diminished work performance. Positivity creates development in each sector.

Now, this point really does need lots of courage and strength to work on. Trust me it does! When a person wants to write about achievements and success, the inner soul uplifts thousand of positive phrases to explain them. But, at the same time when a person wants to inscribe downfalls, it delivers uncomfortable and embarrassing dilemmas.

I too faced it earlier, but the fact is without overcoming failure a person couldn’t achieve success. Failure gives us the opportunity to work on self more. Provokes us to change our mindset and attitude towards accomplishing a task.


Tell your readers the time you failed, they will surely find it relatable. They will try to overcome their inner conflict and will be inspired by your story of how you overcome the failure and learned from it.

Talk to Twitter!

People trying to talk in the tweeter and asking about upcoming issues and questions.

Search for some recent tweets, look for what sort of questions, comments and problems people are sharing nowadays. What solution they are looking for. This can give you a great opportunity to create great content. For instance, I have added a tweet below, which can definitely be seized as a good content to work on. You can also search for your best-engaged post. Traffic can be a good indicator that you have hit on a topic your readers want to know more about. Can you cover those topics with a new perspective and additional information?

So, basically, I have jotted a few important points which will keep you engaged without being stressed. But, I think there are a lot more points we can add to this list.

I am eagerly awaiting some more lifesavers just to quick start my writing journey. Inspire me with your experience and do suggest me, what should I write next?🤓

        1. No, not yet. But I’m planning to do so as we get a lot more templates and illustration to work on. Now, I’m just working on the trial version. But it too works well for small easy go illustrations, frames, shapes etc. If you need some help in it, do share your thoughts. I’m there to clarify.

  5. I think you hit a really important point. Putting out information isn’t what a blog is about. It putting out information with our personal prospective. Putting out the facts but then adding how it worked or didn’t work and why we feel that way is what the reader is looking for. Any topic or niche really comes down to sharing our personality.

  8. Nice post! I really like how you mentioned that we need to ask ourselves why we’re avoiding it and to think about our surroundings, people, and perspective. Oh and your daughter’s excerpt is so sweet and true! 🙂
