Hi @fenngen. There are numerous times when I just don't feel like writing. Not because of no inspiration, but because I'm weary and can't think straight. Those times, I feel, are not the best ones to start a writing project. This is only my opinion and how I interpret my feelings toward inspiration to write.
Other times, I start my morning knowning exactly what I want to cover that day for a topic or two. One can find inspiration daily in their everyday lives. Figuring out how I want to present a topic is something I sometimes struggle with. Now I try to pace myself. If I have two or three topics I want to cover, I just save them for the next few days. Or, I'll see a news story that I relate to, and just jot down the details for a post. That way, I gather several topics during the week to write about.
The part about being honest and write your opinion, not what you think others want to hear. I also believe in that. I actually encountered someone who didn't agree with something I wrote. I reminded that person that if I engage with him, I'll make sure I respect that his position, and would hope he would do the same. He agree with me. That's the way I handle those situations so that I can continue to write what I feel and not worry what others think. I was given that advice when I first join Steem. I've tried to keep that promise to myself.
Thanks for sharing your thought on writing inspiration. Have a good week upcoming.
