The Struggle
I have found that creating quality content can be, at times, quite tedious. Personally, I am an avid reader and very literate. There is no shortage of ideas in my head. The issue is transferring them in to the proverbial realm of the internet. Deciding what you want to talk about is more of a struggle than trying to pick the sharpest needle in a stack full of needles.
Not only do you face potential criticisms from the many keyboard warriors but the horror of not attracting any viewers at all. I have found that the best content truly comes from the heart. Writing about something you are passionate about just comes naturally. Let the words flow from your fingers as if they were the thoughts in your head. Do not fret with the what ifs, in the end its what you feel.
Nothing should deter you from gaining experience and publishing ideas and feelings you truly care about.I am not some expert blogger or anything close to that, but I have found comfort in this mantra. In truth, I am a novice but I believe that my advice is worthy of posting. I do not claim to know much about this field, I definitely have a lot more to learn. For a few days I struggled with the idea of failing as a blogger.
In those days I didn't learn a single thing. I spent so much time worrying about messing up that I wasted precious time. In those few days I could have published AT LEAST 2-3 content pieces. Those 2-3 pieces would have offered me insight as to what I can and cannot do. They would have provided me with a look into what people really want to read. Fortunately, I snapped out of it and am writing this blog about my experience. Even if this piece doesn't speak to anyone, I still broke my slump. I have decided that it is not really about what you write but that you took the step to write at all.

Hi Devin. When I just started out with blogging, I was terrified to hit the publish button, it kept me prisoner. I remember I went over and over again over the text. Adding, deleting, adding again.
I made a 25 points list for myself to remember what to think about and created a training out of it for the community.
Perhaps this is helpful for you too Checklist before you hit the publish button, 25 points! Also, the list of blogging tip can be giving you ideas. How to cure a writer block, 101 blogging ideas Happy blogging :)
