The best advice I can give while experiencing writers block is to just let it flow. Start typing whatever comes to mind, do some research if you feel the need, but all in all just don’t think, write. It’s all about creativity, opinion, passion, and courage. Who cares what anyone else thinks of your topic/article/idea? As long as you are proud and put your all into it, it’s just as worthy as any other article out there. Our voices are the voices that matter the most.
