Losing your groove and trying to get back into writing can be a struggle, and it’s one I am facing right now. I don’t know about you, but now life has gone back to somewhat normal, my time for blogging and writing has become less and less. And maybe I just need to stop putting so much pressure on myself, or maybe I just need to suck it up and get back into doing what I love. I don’t know, I’m trying to figure that part out still.

I tell people alot, that even with hobbies and things you enjoy, it’s healthy and okay to want a break from it. You don’t have to do it all the time, sometimes taking a break is more important than soldiering on.

I’ve been struggling to get back into writing recently, and you may or may not have noticed due to the lack of posts. I am not always going to be the first one to put my hands up and admit when I’m struggling with something. I’ve always been that way. Real life can get in the way of our passions and desires so easily, and I think thats what’s happened. But I am here today to share some tips on how to get back into writing and get your groove back. These are some of the things I’m doing myself, so you’ll be doing it with me if you choose to follow my advice.

GET BACK TO WRITING ABOUT THE THINGS YOU ENJOY MOST

I think one of the main issues I have had with getting back into writing is that I am overthinking it alot. I want to create content that I love, but I want my content to do well aswell. It’s hard sometimes to find that perfect balance of writing what you want and writing what you know your audience enjoys aswell. One thing I have learnt to do recently is just write about what I am passionate about.

Going back to writing about the things you enjoy most is one of the best things you can do.

HAVE FUN

Remember that writing and blogging is meant to be fun and something you enjoy to do. I know I put too much pressure on myself to be ‘perfect’ and do things right. But in reality, writing is supposed to be a hobby and something thats to be enjoyed. Remember why you started and go back to the new writer you once were.

Write about all of the fun and exciting things happening in your life, or share your favourite recent movies. What I’m trying to say here is to not take yourself too seriously.

TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THINGS AROUND YOU

I have said this once before, but one way I have been trying to get back into writing is finding inspiration through everyday things. It could be something someone said to you that day, or a book you read. As writers things are not linear for us. We can go in one direction or another. Life is full of amazing opportunities for us to create amazing work, we just need to be willing to see it for what it is.

How do you get back into writing? Have you lost motivation recently? How do you get it back?

If you’re struggling with getting your groove back into writing recently, Don’t rush it and remember to have fun. You’ll make your comeback when the time is right.

With love❤️

Hey there

Welcome to Nini’s blog💮

So today I decided to log in here and at least put up something because it’s been quite inactive of recent…despite having prior plans not to lol

I’m going to be writing about the ASUU strike action, here in Nigeria…It’s effects on students including it’s benefits too. Surprised huh?? Well, read on..

So how has the strike action been going so far? Strike actions has the capability of messing up the school calendar In ways one could never imagine, mostly for those being affected by it (both federal and state universities which are of course under the body of ASUU)… Consequently, students mental health is being threatened daily, overthinking and bad vices have become rampant because they’ve been denied their right to study…I’d say it’s been quite a challenge for most students but the phase could as well be an advantage if used right… in that various opportunities are presented for one to learn tangible skills, and prune them.. for the betterment of oneself.

In a part of the world where the educational system has been brought so low and isn’t valued anymore, where students are left at the mercy of terrible leaders…The government making little or no effort to make things better, prices on the high, unnecessary hiking of prices of goods and eventually, the strike action being targeted at innocent students…With all these and even more, one would realize that the life of an average Nigerian citizen or should I say, resident is hard enough as it is.

Having recently gained admission into school and hoping to have resumed in earnest not until the strike, I’d say it’s been tough on me personally but we always choose to look on the brighter side of things…All has been going smoothly so far though and I hope it remains so, and things get incredibly better.

In reference to the strike action, my advice to Nigerian students, mostly those affected by the strike, would be to find a skill in areas they’re interested in and get better at it…Because as it seems the system is going down by the day and we get to understand that we are the only ones to save us.

Few weeks back saw to the completion of over two months since embarking on this school break(ASUU Strike)…What skill have you learnt, or are you planning to learn?… there’s a lot of legit skills one could learn even as a student, from digitals and creative skills…Web and graphics designs, Digital marketing and likes, crypto and Fx trading, arts, fashion…the areas are quite innumerable. But then in the end, it eventually pays off.

I hope with time and with God on our side, we are able to get through the difficult times.

With love…

Accept the beauty

In her untamed flames.

She’s willing to burn

For everything,

She’s ever loved.

A wild, hot mess,

Who’s no stranger

To the ashes.

She rises up

Like the phoenix

Reborn into flames,

And she’s not afraid

To burn more powerful

Than the fires

Surrounding her.
