When you don't know what to write. What has that go to do with anyone. Its your cross, carry it. Don't you think you're good at something?. Don't try to replicate people's ideas. You can build yours too.
Writing about non- fiction is what I do best as it involves reality and a well detailed outlines on how the whole event played out, Not writing about some fictional ideas that might not even work out, or dubbing someone's thought.
Most reason why people get of tired of steemit post is not knowing what to write, well to me I think they've left their course and embark in someone else's ship. Why not write about yourself, your fears, your downfalls. Well, people often thought writing about these things means letting out your secret. What if the reverse is the case and you end up sharing your story to someone else going through the same thing and your way out of the problem is exactly what the person needs. You can pick up the Len and start writing the little things you've accomplished. To you they might seem little but to someone who haven't even achieved such will see it as a stepping stone for him/her and such person might follow your step to achieve those things.
You can't read peoples thought , you can't control it, when you write, always take note of people's comments on your work and they way they perceive your writing skill. Some people get dread when they write, in the sense that they feel when they write, just like living a bad day all over again.

• what if no one cares enough to show concern;
Well this would happen sometimes, I can't tell you they won't happen sometimes. This post am writing right now, what's the assurance it will be read by someone?, I can justify that, but that doesn't mean I should stop. Along the way, someone will see it one day and they may refer back to all your previous writes and acknowledge them.

• what if it's not impacting anyone ;
That's not your decision to make. The person reading tour story will be the one to decide if your writes have any impact on them. Somewhere in your life, you've gotten a scar, no matter how small it is, it's a scar , am saying someone somewhere has a close scar as well. When some people tell you what they've been through, you'll know you've not been through anything at all. No matter how small your story is, it needs to be told.

• what if am the only one feeling this way;
That's even unthinkable , today as it is, about 12,000 people will die and about 1,000 dieing of malnutrition every day, no to talk about victims of AIDS or EBOLA. You can't say what's happening to you isn't happening to someone else. There's another you somewhere.

• What if my story ends up being boring ;
Well it depends on how well you want to open up, done replicate words and just be open. Writing freely frees mind sometimes, when you hide something and decide to replace some event with another happening, you end up being boring to yourself as well .

• what if I end up making someone feel bad because of my story;
Your story might make someone feel bad, but your intention wasn't to do that. When some feels bad about what you wrote, it means they're concern about you. Probably they person is an OK person, never been through any form of hardship before or anything like a dilemma situation that turns out you made the wrong decision. Reading your story had definitely made the someone know some people needs help and through that, the person could become a charity giver. You post has inspired such person.

• What if i can't spell out my emotions.


Take note: because you're writing a story about your hard days doesn't mean the person reading them would feel bad. Instead they'll encourage you and endeavour you not to give up. Seeing something like this will surely make the writer feel good than ever before. Try to think about that feeling.

No matter how good you are, there's always someone somewhere better. Whatever you're going through that you think is the worst, am haply to tell you, there's someone somewhere who's going through worse than you right now. One thing is discovered is that when you write most times about yourself and make yourself a free writer, it's jut like your making a confession to a priest In a dark room, think of the freedom to pour out what's been eating you inside and share your Odyssey with the world. Let people learn from your mistakes and also provide you with how to overcome any discrepancies if at all you find yourself in it someday.

When you write sometimes, another topic poops up from your head which is one thing you've been through before. As of the moment of this writing, the word "INFERIORITY COMPLEX" already pooped up. Which is what I'll be writing about next.
Great writers don't just stare at the keyboard all day, novelist don't just sit at the corner reminiscing alone.
When you don't know what to write and feel empty inside. WRITE ABOUT YOUR SCAR !!
When you write, you could use another character, someone older than you, who have been through this moment before , someone whose past made him what he is now.
With the way steemit is built, it's about knowledge sharing through write ups. I once quited for about 4 months when I couldn't think about what to write anymore. I always thought I couldn't make it here, then I see some write ups and I wonder....can't I write this too?
.I mean..I can right ?...of course I can...
Picked up my pen and everything just went blank. Then I realized, our specialism ain't the same. What you're good at, someone might not be. Don't forget, there's something your good at, you have to discover the area.

This write up is a free writing, I haven't checked what have written so far. All I know is, have been writing a for the past 20 minutes.
If you're reading this, I want you to share (resteem) so as to reach a larger audience. Someone somewhere could be in need of this.
