A Few Words is All You Need For A Powerful Medium Story
Inspiring hints are hiding right in front of us
The other day I was thinking and wondering. Then I went for a walk. After that, it was time for coffee.
Before I knew what happened, half of the day was gone and I wasn’t closer to finding a solution to an ongoing writing project.
“Maybe it’s not going to work out this time," I said.
This is not my first rodeo, I thought in response to something somebody said to me a day earlier. What do they know?
But in reality, I was in denial. It actually is my first rodeo, as the saying goes, because I always find myself with a blank piece of paper or an empty screen.
A new piece of written content always starts at zero, at nothing, at a big emptiness that is asking to be filled.
New Inspiration
Getting inspired about a potential writing topic can happen out of nowhere, often when it is least expected.
Here are some possibilities:
- A comment by a fellow commuter
- New words in the tech industry
- An interesting outfit or winter cap
- A witty retort
- A cool social-cultural convention
