The Five Reasons

-



I have writer's blocks... a bunch of times. These are the reasons why I don't write/ write soon/write much: 

1. I'm still choosing topics. I don't just choose any topic. I give my thoughtful considerations on it. Whether I am able/ willing to go deeper into that topic and put it into words?, whether I'm ready to share those things into public, or not? Whether my knowledge on that topic sufficient, or not? And many others. I want to write something good.

2. Writing on blogs supposed to be about things that come across our mind, isn't it? Yet sometimes (especially now), I feel kinda numb, and unable to settle on something to write. I think about a lot of other things (which I consider private, and I might not willing to share publically) in my life, none is a content for writing.

3. My lack of life experiences and therefore, ideas. I don't go out much, I'd rather stay in my room and recharge my mind and body by getting some rest after a day at work (my Introvert side, I am part Introvert). I mostly listen to music or watch movies/TV series by myself. I go out sometimes, but mostly alone. Since I only know a few people in this city and my co-workers are as tired as I am after work. So, yeah, there’s no one that I could ask. Therefore, aku koyok arek ilang :)). Some people say that real experiences are in the outside world. I am mostly inside. So, there's that.

4. I sometimes have difficulties on putting words in Bahasa. Since I was in college, I involved with and used English a lot. And nowadays, I still communicate by using English actively. I even frequently think and talk to myself in English. There are some words that I know the terms in English but I don't know how to say it/ needs extra time to translate into Bahasa. Call me arrogant, nggaya, keminggris or whatever, but it happens to me and it's true.

5. Personal things that need more attention. This past month has been too much for me to process, but I'm putting my life back together and it's not an instant process. And fun facts about me: I don't do well with changes. I need time. I need to find my own pace and steps. I even think that I am a bit slow in processing things to do. I make progress. However, at first I will stumble and trip a bunch of times but will get back up again.


So, those are mine. What's yours? Tell me on the comments below. Suggestions on how to deal with these problems are much welcomed. Cheers!

    My biggest problem in writing is that my inconsistency on one topic... Sometimes, sth comes up on my mind forcing me to write... However, after writing several lines, I have another thought to write... And you know what? I simply leave my first writing, and work on "the sudden ideas" ... Thus, I have many unfinished draft on my laptop wkwkw ...
    Anyway, thanks for writing this.. I wish to read "tips to tackle writing blocks" in your next post... :)

Source: Google Images “A little girl was getting ready for her first day of school. Her uncle, who was making breakfast at that time, called his niece from the kitchen. The girl reluctantly came out of her room with a red dress on. Her uncle said that she looked beautiful, but she disagreed, she tought she looked like a Disney princess and she hated it.” That was the first scenes of the movie “Gifted” that I watched yesterday. As the title suggests, this movie is about someone who is gifted with something wonderful. Seven-years old Mary Adler (Mckenna Grace) is a child with advanced Mathematical ability. Her whole life, she lived with (and also self-taught by) her uncle Frank Adler (Chris Evans), her one-eyed cat Fred and their middle-aged neighbor, Roberta (Octavia Spencer) in Florida. Her mother, Diane, commited suicide when Mary was six months old, leaving her daughter in the care of her only brother. Frank decided to enroll his niece to a local public school. Ma...

Keluarga dan rumah adalah dua hal yang erat kaitannya. Rumah adalah tempat manusia membangun keluarga. Kenangan semasa kecil juga seringkali dihabiskan di rumah. Namun bagaimana jika rumah yang memberikan kenangan pahit masa kecil terus menghantui dan menarik kita untuk kembali masuk kedalamnya? Sebuah TV series produksi Netflix berjudul "The Haunting of Hill House" menyajikan terror dan kisah seram tentang rumah masa kecil. Episode - episodenya sungguh menegangkan namun menarik untuk diikuti.
