My Experiences when I Feel Lost in writing a blog post

Tag : Keseharian, Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | My Experiences when I Feel Lost in writing a blog post - Powered by Blogger

Hello there. How is it going?
How is your weekend my friends?

I have been writing articles for my blog for more than twelve years. Over that time, I have published more than five thousand blog posts. You might think that after writing that much, ideas would come easily all the time. The truth is, they don’t. Even with years of experience, there are moments when I sit in front of my screen and feel completely stuck. I know I want to write, but I don’t know how to start, what title to choose, or which angle feels right. My mind feels crowded, yet empty at the same time.

This feeling is not unique to me.

Every blogger, no matter where they are in the world, experiences this sooner or later. It happens to new bloggers who are still finding their voice, and it also happens to those who have been writing for years. Feeling stuck does not mean I have lost my ability to write. It simply means my mind needs a small push, or sometimes a gentle pause My fellow bloggers.

One reason we feel blocked is because we put too much pressure on ourselves. We want the title to be perfect before we write the first sentence. We want the article to be well-structured, meaningful, and valuable from the very beginning. When we expect too much too soon, our thoughts stop flowing. Writing becomes heavy instead of natural. In moments like this, it helps to remind ourselves that the first draft does not need to be perfect. It only needs to exist

Often, the best way to start is to stop thinking too much. Just begin writing whatever comes to your mind, even if it feels messy or unclear. Many good articles begin as simple thoughts, personal notes, or unfinished ideas. Once words start appearing on the screen, your mind slowly follows. Writing creates clarity, not the other way around. You don’t need to see the full picture before you begin. Sometimes, the picture appears while you are already moving.

Feeling stuck with no idea how to start writing a blog post? You must have been in my shoes. This is my work desk that I use every day for work.

I’m sorry for sharing this old-fashioned photo of myself. The photo was taken during my trip to Bali in December 2011. Every time I traveled, I tried to write my travel notes on time using my laptop, as shown in this photo.

Our own experiences are also a powerful source of ideas. Daily life, small struggles, simple lessons, and personal reflections can all become meaningful content. Readers connect deeply with honesty. They appreciate stories that feel real and relatable. Even a moment of confusion or doubt can turn into an article that helps someone else who feels the same way.

Another helpful approach is to look back at what you have already written. Old articles can be refreshed with new insights, updated experiences, or a different point of view. Over time, we grow, we learn, and our perspective changes. Revisiting old topics allows us to tell the same story in a new voice, one that feels more mature and more personal.

Sometimes, the block has nothing to do with ideas at all. It comes from routine. Writing in the same place, at the same time, every day can slowly drain creativity. Changing your environment, even slightly, can make a big difference. A new atmosphere can help your thoughts move again, like fresh air entering a quiet room.

At the heart of it all, writing should feel like a conversation, not a performance. When you write as if you are speaking to one person, the words tend to flow more naturally. Simple language, honest thoughts, and a calm tone are often more powerful than complex words and perfect sentences. Readers don’t look for perfection; they look for connection.

Feeling stuck is part of the blogging journey. It doesn’t mean you have reached the end. It simply means you are pausing between thoughts, waiting for the next wave of ideas to arrive. Be patient with yourself. Start small. Trust that once you begin, the words will find their way slowly, gently, and naturally, like water flowing forward

If you’re a blogger who has ever felt stuck or confused about where to start, you’re not alone my friend.

Take a deep breath, start with one small thought, and let the words flow naturally. If this article helped you in any way, feel free to share it with fellow bloggers, leave a comment below about your own writing struggles, or bookmark it for the next time you feel blocked.

Writing is a journey, and we grow better by learning from each other.
