In today’s world, it is not too difficult to become a celebrity. Almost anyone at all can become a content creator, all you need to possess is the ability to put out something that people will be willing to spend their time consuming. And therein lies one of the major problems of being a content creator. And that is inspiration. Whether you are an artist, musician, writer, or vlogger, before you can seat down to create something you have to be inspired first of all. If you try to do one without the other, you will end up giving half-baked work seeing as you will not be able to put your all into it. The thing is that when you are making content, you are cutting out a part of yourself and putting it out there for everyone to see. Now, you do this because you have a message you want to pass across, but if you do not pass this message well then it can be said that it was pointless putting the message out there in the first place. But then, inspiration is a tricky thing. Many times when you are busy with other things, you will suddenly have brilliant ideas swarming in your head. But you will be so occupied there won’t even be time for you to put them into writing. And then, when you are in front of your computer, or with a pen and paper, you will suddenly find yourself blank and scrambling for what to write. Yeah, it happens to everyone. For me, one surefire way I have been able to combat this is to always go about with my ideas bank. I think I have mentioned this before. Ideas bank is a book where I write down whatever creative ideas that pop up in my head. No matter how lame, I make sure I write it down. It can be the start of a great piece of work, or it can be the connecting piece between two. Everywhere I go, I always carry a book and a pen about, and as I get the ideas, I just pour them out. That way, when I am ready to write, I would not have to think too much. It would be easy to work with source material that I have already laid down and go from there. Although this does not always prevent writer’s block, it definitely does well to make sure that there is always something for me to create content out of as often as I want to. I get my inspiration from anything at all. It can hit me during a conversation with someone, or while I am taking a stroll, I can get it while doing mundane tasks and my mind just wanders. There is no special task that I have to do before I can get inspired. I just have to be willing to free my mind and clear it out so that the new ideas can flow in. Although I have heard that for some that is not the case. I have heard of some creators that only get inspired when they are in the toilet or the ones that can only get inspiration to create after they have smoked weed. You might find it funny, but it is what many people are doing, and seeing as it is working for them, I guess we can’t complain, can we? Honestly to me, it doesn’t matter where your source of inspiration comes from. Although I believe that the source of inspiration will reflect greatly on the content that is created. You will notice it in every work of art put out there. But like I said, as long as you are putting out good work that is all yours, then your source of inspiration does not matter. And as long as it is something legal, then there is no problem. When you think about it, being a content creator is quite difficult. You have to be regular and qualitative. And even the inspiration will not be regular, and writer’s block might ruin things sometimes. But as long as you are persistent in it, you will definitely get to the point where you will be creating content without even feeling like you are creating it. But it is all a matter of time. For now, focus on finding the way you are inspired and use that to your advantage. Keep doing what you are doing, and with each entry, you will get better. That is how people grow to become the celebrities they are today. All it takes is a little time and patience. So, my dear friends, what do you think about this? Are you also a content creator? How do you get inspired? And how do you store your ideas? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below, I would love to know what you are thinking. Thank you for reading. Till we meet in the next post.

To be inspired and uplifted by a sudden spirit has the push most of the times to have a good willing to make the start. That has been true for me and also for many other.
But what is also true is that, a good plan is what essential for projecting the future, if lack of vision dies out, then the progress gets stopped and for many reason that proven to be true.
Have a nice journey ahead, 👍
That's how I came to here and started writing. I was week in English but my friend motivated me a lot.He gave me hope.Still whenever I got depressed ,he gives me hope. Though I am at a scratch. but I think I will continue for long and be able to do something good. I just express my thoughts in words.
Thanks for your wonderful writing 🙂❤
I do still considered myself as a newbie and still in the process of learning. Most of the time I don't know what to write that's why I love to join contest or initiative of a Community where I can write or can relate with the given topic because of course you cannot write something that you don't have or you don't know. I am still hoping that someday I can write like words will just flow from my mind. Thanks for sharing this @bruno-kema
