The luxury I’ve never known

Since I always start writing an article and finish it in one hit, I’ve never had ideas just waiting there. I’ve always wondered what it’d be like having ideas just sitting there waiting to be used!

When I used to write articles every day, I would be thoroughly searching for any clue that would suggest an idea had existed somewhere near me within the last decade. Thinking of anything worthy of writing about was like discovering a chunk of gold the size of your head in your backyard

I’ve now reached the highest number of drafts I’ve ever had at the same time, two. One of them I can’t be bothered finishing and the other one is just the title.

I now understand how it’s possible to have ideas and not use them.

I currently write articles every two days. I briefly considered writing as article only when I thought of an idea instead of actively trying to think of one, but the idea was quickly dismissed because if I did that, I’d almost never write articles.
