Warning: this article may be a bit of my weird struggles, but that's okay because it will help you understand what I, myself go through as a writer. Now, this may be a little humorous and I apologize for "struggling" to make you laugh. Ah, see what I did there?

Listen, I struggle to find my keys in the morning, struggle to find that left shoe, to think straight or even to meet a deadline. I'm sure you have encountered at least one of these "struggles." Although, I do struggle most at my skills/talents. Actually, I find myself saying I struggle more than I actually struggle. See, I am already struggling to talk.

As a writer, I find myself wondering what I may write about next week or if I'll ever become someone amazing based on my stories or my opinions. Instead, I now realize I have these problems because I'm a writer, because I'm a person and I am OK with it. Nobody's asking me to write a book... yet, or be the editor of some magazine, so why do I struggle then? Honestly, I don't even know why. I ask myself why all the time, but honestly there is no true answer for that question.

You're probably thinking, "Oh my, does this girl continue to complain about her struggles on a daily basis?" But, on the other hand, everyone else is agreeing with me because they can barely remember what they had for dinner last night. But, listen it's OK, because I forget things too.

It's the way your brain works. Your mind floats into confusion forcing itself to figure out the problem or just completely forget. Wow, now I'm a science nerd. Again, I struggle, I struggle to concentrate on a specific topic when writing an article; or maybe this article. I start at one side of the story and completely change it around to another. What am I even doing? I'm struggling, that is what I am doing.

No writer just sits in front of a keyboard and knows exactly what to write. Nobody. You sit in front of the keyboard and you... struggle. I find myself wondering what the perfect word choices are, what topic I will write about, which direction of the story I need to take and even if a certain word needs to be capitalized or not.

I won't lie because writers don't lie. I am here to tell you the truth and the truth is I struggle. I know I repeated myself like 100 times already. But, again I am repetitive because I STRUGGLE.

Without struggling to do something how will you teach your body to get better at it? How will you ever understand if you do not struggle? Now, when you go to bed tonight, try not to struggle to find those favorite pair of pajamas or set your alarm.

Instead struggle, because I did trying to end this article.
