<p>I'm experiencing something I don't usually experience. I won't call this writer's block because I have ideas and can easily get inspiration.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm someone who writes a lot. If we're given an assignment to write a chapter and others write 3 pages, mine will probably be 6 pages. I hardly run out of words or ideas to implement. Before I start writing, I usually know what to write.</p><p>I have a whole story idea in my head. I know how the scenes will go, how it will end...</p><p>The exposition, rising action, climax, etc.</p><p>Now, the problem is, I can't write.</p><p>I've tried so many times, but nothing seems to work.</p><p>My mind keeps creating more stories I should write about and giving me more plot twists I should try out, but I can't pen anything down.</p><p>I saw a video that talked about pantsers and outliners. I'm a pantser. I don't like to outline because it kills my drive, so the lady gave some advice for pantsers to try.</p><p>It's like outlining and according to her it won't kill your drive. She said to write down the characters and their characterisation, the scenes I have in my head, and where I want to place certain things in the story...</p><p>Which I did, but still, nothing.</p><p>Even with all this, I still can't write the story. I tried to start writing, but I went blank on what words to use.</p><p>It's not just flowing like it used to...</p><p>I don't know what happened.</p><p>I can't be the only one experiencing this or who has experienced this.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes, it happens with titles too. I usually don't know what title to give my stories, so I just title them whatever my mind tells me or what the story is about, like the title of this article, without minding whether it's the best title for it.</p><p>Other times, I ask AI for titles that fit my stories, then add them to what I already have in mind before deciding on a title for my story.</p><p>Then I see some people give their stories these amazing titles, and I'm like, how?!</p><p>I'm trying really hard to improve in this aspect.</p><p><br/></p><p>I decided to post this here so that if anyone is experiencing this too, they will know that they are not alone.</p><p>If I can get tips that will help, I will be so grateful.</p><p>Maybe after making this post, I'll have the inspiration I need to start writing my story, and the words will begin to come again.</p><p><br/></p><p>Kindly drop your thoughts in the comments so we can learn from your ideas and experiences.</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
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 for the Best Content track
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.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
