Is writing articles ever a chore for you?

Of course I force myself. Heck, there are times I have to force myself just to get out of bed, let alone to write.

One of the things that makes it worth it, though, is knowing I'll be able to read what I wrote again...and again...and again. Which I most certainly do, without shame. It's like staring at myself in the mirror, only a lot prettier and not nearly as narcissistic.

Beats Spell Check, too. Catch tons and tons of typos that way.

I was full of enthusiasm when I joined HP and wrote loads in my first few weeks. I aimed at writing a hub every day, but this became impossible with work and family commitments. I have set myself a more realistic goal of 3/4 hubs per week which is much more achievable for me.

I never tire of writing, but sometimes get a bit of a block trying to come up with different topics. I started carrying a notepad and pen with me wherever I go and I have at least another 30 topics to write about when I can fit them in! I never have to force myself to write as I enjoy it so much.

I've been writing for most of my life, and for me writing just seems to come naturally. I do come up against writer's block occasionally, and forcing myself to write through the block can be agonizing, but I've also learned over the years to not try too hard to force it to go away. Sometimes researching a story can be a bit of a chore, and meeting other people's deadlines can also seem like a chore sometimes, but overall, the actual writing is not a chore.

I would never want to force myself to write - If I did, I think it would show in my writing! The only thing that prevents me from writing is work (yes, corporate slavery). But I've set myself a realistic goal of writing 1 hub per week.

Considering my circumstances, I think even 1 hub per week would be an achievement!

It certainly can be if I'm not selective about the subjects that I pick. That's why I try to be as picky as possible, otherwise it truly becomes a pain.

Well,The best way to make it nomore-a-chore is to write on things you are passionate about or things you do all day. Like these days I am quite into programming,so I am doing hubs on coding computers.

I don't force myself to write because I don't have to. It is a passion of mine and I love it dearly. When I don't feel like writing or don't feel inspired, I just simply wait.

I feel like if I forced myself to do it, it would become too much of a "job" and I wouldn't enjoy it as much. :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
