<p>I pick up my pen to write but I feel a force holding me back.</p><p>I've tried to name it 'writers block' but it isn't really that when I have an idea of what to write.</p><p></p><p>I have the idea. I have envisioned it. I've created a way to bring my characters to live and give meaning to every word, sentence and every paragraph.</p><p></p><p>I just can't write. I try to at least taint the blank crispy white sheet of paper even if it's with a letter or a word but I always end up retracting my hands and stopping it.</p><p></p><p>Someday's I cry because I know what to write about but why can't I bring my words to live? Why can't I give every sentence and paragraph a new light? I can't call it writer's block because I know what to write about and even now, I don't know what to title this write up.</p><p></p><p>For each day, every seconds, minutes and hours, the wheels keep spinning in my head. Ideas popping up, new characters to bring to live, sentences to impact and paragraphs all intact. </p><p></p><p>The papers are still blank. I let those ideas and characters fade and the pressure sinks in. What if I had written about this idea? What if I wrote about this word? What if this? What if that? And then the waterworks comes again. </p><p></p><p>After the tears comes laughter. I sit and wonder, "why am I laughing?" and you see, a new idea pops up again. So when I see people complain about having writer's block, I don't even know what to say because I hardly experience it. I have the ideas, I get inspired by anything and everything but I just don't write.</p><p></p><p>So please that force holding me back from bleeding on those crispy white sheets of paper can you let go? I want to write, I want to express myself through word's and bring those words to live. I want people to read my works and get inspired, I want to be able to voice out people's buried thought's that the world sees as invalid even though it's quite the opposite. I want people to cry and laugh, to express their emotions whenever they read my works so please... can you let go? </p><p></p><p></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
