Writer's Block and How To Overcome It .:. Hive Humpday Hangout Ep.13 (Wednesday, January 24, 5 PM UTC)
Another Wednesday and you already know when to set your clock reminders! The show will be at the same time as always, Wednesday, 5 PM UTC! The topic is on-spot as I could say that I had issues finding out the topic for this show, and not just the topic, but the motivation to write the announcement post... 😂
If you are a content creator and if you have been doing it for some time, you have probably experienced writer's block... There is even a complete Wikipedia page about this "condition"... In short lines, it says about it:
Writer's block is a non-medical condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author is either unable to produce new work or experiences a creative slowdown.
Created in Canva.com
It looks like a small problem, but it can grow, and take for quite some time the author to recover for it... Sometimes, we are unable to find a topic to write about, or we don't have an idea where to start a specific topic, or it's like in my case today, not having "will" to begin... As an excuse, I did have a busy day and lately, I've been experiencing headaches daily which is very annoying... As I suspect that my problem comes from my eyes, I went to an optician today and ordered new glasses... Another 0.50 diopter was added to my both eyes... We will see if that will help...
Back to the topic of tomorrow's show (maybe it's today for you! Check out the time and date!)... As I'm experiencing this problem, I will need your help with the show tomorrow... Active participation is a must and you are welcome to share your approach to the author's block and your personal experience with it...
- Did you ever experience Writer's block?
- What do you do in those situations?
- Does taking a break help or does it work oppositely for you? Procrastinate even more?
- Sometimes it helps me to overcome it by going for a walk... to clear my head... Does that work for you?
- Share your ideas on how you overcome writer's block!
When we discuss these things we can change the topic and talk about other stuff in the show... Sometimes that is the best way to cope with writer's block, change the topic!!!

I'll try to be there man, thanks a lot for tagging me, that's an interesting topic to talk about
Your last week's topic was partly an inspiration for this one... But today's lack of motivation was too... It looks like some negativity is in the air...
Let's try to turn it into positivity!
See you tomorrow!
Writers block is a b*tch for sure, lol. Honestly, lately I have been using ChatGPT to help give me topics to write about and I may even get it to help me with an outline to get started if I am just completely blank, or I just go with some good ole technical analysis posts, haha. But when you have 3 projects you are creating content for, it can be a challenge, haha.
When you have so many projects to run, you have a lack of time for writing, too! Not just writer's block... 😃
Especially when I am having to pivot because this used to make me decent money, but not near as much anymore, so I am having to focus more on trading and finding other sources of income. Trying to live fully in crypto is freaking hard, lol, but I am bound and damned determined at this point, lol.
I understand you 100% as my income is around 90% from crypto... I'm lucky that my wife is having a "normal job", but with these bear and bull cycles, it is all about money management...
I have an appointment tomorrow just as the show is starting. I doubt if I will be free in time to attend, and I'm so disappointed. It sounds like it will be an awesome topic!
Don't worry, if I don't mess things up, I will record it... 🙂 Maybe you can arrive at the aftershow if we stay longer... :)

On several occasions I have experienced this blockage of ideas, what usually works for me is to take a break, I can take a walk, listen to music or watch a movie, many will see it as procrastination, I see it as an opportunity to renew the mind ✌🏻
I do the same many times... It clears my mind and helps me to focus when I come back from a walk... It doesn't work every time, but it works in many occasions... 😃
I hope that the diopter in your new glasses will help ease the headache. My wife always has that kind of problem whenever she is in front of the screen for far too long without her glasses.
Man, I hope I can join the event, but it will be at 1 a.m my local time. : (
If you can don't ever do it, it is better you have more posts on the draft or schedules it when your ideas popped up and you can finish the said idea, because one you take a break, it will add more laziness and another writer's block, and you will not realize that you have not been making a post for days.
!LUV !PIZZA
Huh... That sucks... I do wear my glasses, but it is obvious that they weren't enough and that's why went to examine and order new ones... Getting old sucks... 😃
What's even worse, I do write a short title and a few notes in Draft, and in my Drafts, I already have like 10-15 ideas for posts, but the other thing happens what you said - laziness... 😃 In those moments, I do like 99 other things BUT NOT what I would have to... lol
Btw. Wrote down some of your suggestions and will try to not forget to mention them in the show... Thanks!

I have the same pain in my head, I believe that I will soon have to get myself glasses also because looking at the screen has made the eye weak... and summer my eyes make pain when I get to lot strong sun in eyes .. so I also need to buy summer glasses also 😅👌👌👌👓🕶
Before moving to Spain, I never wore sunglasses, but here, I have exactly the same problem as you... After too many hours on the computer, when I go out, I have to wear them!
It also means we must walk lot more times out so eyes can have normal feeling what sun too :))
The only thing that is bad what this eye problem...if that the pain in the eyes doesn't go away then soon becomes a big headache, which eventually spreads to the stomach and makes you vomit... :))
Nice topic to be discuss. I do hope i can attend it tonight. 🤗
Wooohooo! It would be great to have you on show today!
See you later!
Thanks. I will try to make it. 🤗

BEER.I think we have that condition here as well, sometimes I can't find a topic to write :)
There you are! This show is perfect for you, too!
As for me, still being new here, I generally have no problem finding things to write about.
But with a lot of commitments and a full-time job (and I don't work from home but commute), it's a challenge for me to find time to write.
As for today's live, unfortunately I won't be able to attend or follow the chat...
Today we are celebrating my wife's birthday, we have plans at the time of this meeting.
I will have to wait for the recording, so I can see your experiences and what challenges I will face later, if (when) I run out of ideas 🙂
If it's not a writer's block, it's the lack of free time... If not that, then something else... 🙂 But, that's life... Without these things, it would be too boring and predictable... 🙂
Happy Birthday to your wife!!! All the best!!! 🎂 🎁 🍷
Thanks 🙂
I hope you have a good show today
My alarm is ready,
I will be there , atleast I can learn from other and also share my experience
Hehehehe... Good to hear that!
See you later!!!
Writer's block is kind of tough but I find that there is a lot of topics out there. I think just reading posts or consuming content can help you create a post. It just depends and you can always keep notes for yourself as well.
Notes are crucial!!! I had so many ideas for posts and I said to myself "Will do it when I come back home"... And when I got home, I forgot them... lol...
Because of that, I take notes immediately!!
It is possible I am able to attend the show even though I’d be at work
I really want to know if people experience writers block just like me too
If you have a chance to listen on the headphones, you can do it... 🙂 Nobody is forced to talk and some people come just to listen! I mean, I do prefer to see people participating, but I do understand that on some occasions it is impossible to do it... Late at night, at work, in transport, etc...
I will not miss the appointment unless a catastrophe occurs. Today's topic is great, because all content creators have experienced that blockage at some point.
I hope your headaches disappear with your glasses change. 🤓 From certain ages, being presumptuous can cost us our health. 😜
I hope there will be no catastrophe in Zaragoza today... 😂
See you soon!
One of my best and most effective methods for eliminating the writer’s block is to infuse my mind with a lot of information or ideas about the topic I'm trying to write about and then I try to generate new ideas of my own. And it really works for me. Thanks for organising these informative and insightful shows. Keep up the good work.
Sometimes the problem is in the first step... getting those ideas for the start... We got some nice solutions in the show today... Recording coming soon...
