Do you know that feeling when you stare at a blank page and your mind goes blank? 👀

Time passes, yet you come up with nothing. It's frustrating—while speaking, you're eloquent, but writing feels like a struggle.

We've all been there; it’s the notorious writer's block. (I experience it every time before compiling posts😂)

During exams, we can't afford the luxury of being unproductive. We have an hour to compose logical, well-versed essays.



Is there a magic pill to become a prolific writer?

I’m afraid not. The only way to improve is TO WRITE A LOT.

Don't get disheartened if your first essays are far from perfect; that’s not the point. The goal is to build a writing habit—to let your thoughts flow, whether with pen or keyboard.

Revising your work or asking someone else to review it can highlight blind spots we often miss.



Now, on the content side of things.

I have an interesting solution for the classroom to help students overcome the ‘no ideas’ issue: create a bank of ideas.

Brainstorm topics with your students before they write. By building this idea bank, they’ll have a wide range of topics to explore and learn how to generate ideas quickly and efficiently.
