I have been working for Odyssey for a couple of months now, and it is a great opportunity that I am happy and proud to have been able to be a part of. It is easy to use and a lot of fun as I get to come up with my own topics to write about and then post it for everyone to see. It is basically like a blog but with hundreds of other members writing on it. There is only one downside to this opportunity, and even that is not that bad of a thing.

To be completely honest, the hardest part of writing for Odyssey is coming up with the topics to write about. The first couple of weeks I was able to push out a good number of articles without much difficulty because topics were just easy to come up with. Eventually, it became a lot harder to write topics or even think of something that I wanted to share my opinion on. Finally, we get to about now where I forget to even try to think of a topic because life catches up and nothing really is that interesting to write about.

I like to try to just experience life as it continues and just be inspired with a topic to write about and share with everyone. It seems silly to some people, but overthinking actually stresses me out and prevents me from coming up with something that I think could be awesome. That's how most of my topics are brought up and written about. I could be outside, watching TV, browsing the Internet. Anything could just inspire me to write something. But after a while, it just becomes harder. I start to remember that I have written a topic already before or I just do not want to actually share something because it could be too personal or too much.

So, anyway, as I am rolling around in my bed, frustrated that I cannot come up with anything interesting to share with my peers, I think to myself, "You know what? There is my topic. I am totally writing about the difficulty of even thinking of a topic." I even spend the next couple of moments kind of planning it out.

And here we are today!

I am sure I am not the only person to find it hard. I mean even in school when we can choose an essay topic I find it difficult to find something remotely interesting to write about. I can see everyone at some point or another sharing this huge burden of writing something special.

I would love to hear your story about a time when you just could not figure out a topic for something important. Comment below!
