Sometimes the page feels blank.
You sit, waiting for an idea, but nothing comes.
That emptiness is normal. Every writer has it.
The trick is to look around. Ordinary life is full of stories.
A conversation overheard, a small gesture, a memory from childhood…all of these can spark an idea.
Sometimes reading or watching something unrelated triggers a thought.
Your own feelings are fertile ground. Joy, fear, curiosity, confusion…these are all seeds.
Even moments you think are boring can become meaningful if you pay attention.
Jot notes wherever you are. A cafe, the bus, a quiet corner at home.
Ask “what if” questions about everyday events.
Change perspective. What would a stranger notice? A child? A pet?
Ideas are everywhere. They are waiting for your attention.
The moment you start observing, listening, and questioning, the blank page begins to fill.
