Self-discovery as a writer.

I am a writer, well I just blushed at the utterance of that because I’m not sure if I qualify as a writer. Considering that writers do write a lot more, have experience which comes with time and put in hard work. I have always been writing short articles in high school and have always wanted to be a better writer. I have read other peoples pieces and they left me astonished and inspired wondering whether I’ll ever be able to come up with such amazing pieces.
I usually come up with brilliant and interesting topics in my mind, with ideas to note down and fill a page or two, but as soon as I write the first and the second line, the determination and motivation phases out. The emptiness of the white screen board on a Microsoft word page freaks me out and I wonder how or what I’m going to fill it with, then I close my computer.
Oh yeah so now you know what kind of writer I am, I have a whole bunch of people who believe in me and think I can write, I also have a laptop too, I mean I have all that id need to become a well-established writer but I’m also filled with lots of lack of self-motivation and drive. In a 2019 economy, I’ve also found myself stuck up the huge urge for money to fit in my bills. Then in the long run, I’ve lost focus, writing hasn’t seemed like it’s going to pay off for me yet or soon enough.
However here I am, I haven’t given up yet on my dream to become a writer, willing to learn and do better each new day. Hopefully I’m not the only one who has experienced this, so if at all you’re reading this and have a hard time figuring out who you want to be and keeping up with what you want to be, here’s a few tips for you to keep in mind. I’ve summarized them and I’ll just outline them, a few or almost of them are applicable for all careers in self-discovery.

• Allow yourself to write badly, the two sides of a coin, if it turns you’re going to be the great writer you always wanted to be.
• Start with a sentence, paragraph of that brilliant idea that you have burning up in your mind. 
• Commit to a title that you will keep in mind, for it will guide all through your piece.
• Stay loose and write it all, share what you know and what you’re thinking, then edit later.
• Read as much as u write, articles from other successful writers will give you an exposure of different tactics on unique writing.
• Research, this is very important and should have come first but anyway save the best for the last. Giving your story a factual bone is crucial for the reader will discover something new within your article.

I hope those above tips help you and I pray u keep them in mind and also apply them to your daily journey of self-discovery.
Good luck.
