Remember the heartwarming moment you enjoyed that delicious frozen dinner around your dearest people? Or savoring that rich-in-taste coffee from a plastic cup while rushing to the next meeting? Yummy and precious memories! And no, we don’t have them either.
Ready-to-eat and quick-to-go solutions are good for an emergency fix but hardly make memorable experiences we want to share with others. The same applies to the content: the best articles and books are not generated by chatbots or copied from Google.
How and why should we make a nice bowl of pasta instead of instant noodles and how is it connected with content? Let’s switch the microwave off and cook something delicious!
Late and tired: frozen dinner in the box
It is a late night after work and you feel pretty much wiped out and starving. What could cheer you up better than a nice homemade warm meal? But your fridge is disappointingly empty. So, you head out to the nearby convenience store; now not only hungry and tired, but also annoyed, and grab the first thing that catches your eye–that ready-to-eat dinner you can put into the microwave. It is neither nutritious nor yummy, but at least satisfying your hunger; though igniting your general frustration about life.
No judgment here, it happened to all of us! And not only with dinner: tired and annoyed with the looming deadlines, many opt for a quick rewrite instead of creative effort simply because come on, who feels inspiration after working for hours and already dozing off?
✨Here is what we suggest. How about keeping a proper set of ingredients on your shelves for something like pasta or another simple but comforting dish? Dedicate a little time to doing your homework: it might be prepping some meals on the weekend and putting them into the freezer (then you’ll have that frozen food but of a completely different quality!) or coming up with a set of recipes you can use even in the most desperate state, and make sure you have the ingredients for them.
Apply the same to your writing kitchen. You know that copied paper won’t work out well anyway. So, do your best to prepare everything you need in advance: get familiar with the topic, study the sources, and give yourself time to reflect on the ideas. If you feel tired and powerless, better postpone the deadline: have that delicious simple pasta, go to bed, and return to your writing tomorrow with new energy. A plagiarism checker will help to perfect your piece–it’s like a secret ingredient seasoning that makes every creation unique and delicious!
Last-minute and anxious: instant coffee 3-in-1
You are rushing to a work meeting, feeling nervous, and sleep-deprived, and urgently needing your coffee fix! But all the decent coffee shops seem to be in conspiracy today–you can’t see a single one on your way. Desperate times require desperate measures, and in this case, you don’t even have time. So, you storm into the office, grab the biggest mug you can find, and pour the boiling water on the instant drink powder. Nothing like a delightful morning ritual or a sophisticated coffee beverage, but at least you are awake now!
Panicking and running to meet the deadlines, we often pour water into the text hoping to disguise the fact it is not original. However, the foam on the surface of 3-in-1 never resembles a nice cappuccino from an Italian machine, no matter how hard we try. A plagiarism or AI checker will instantly reveal that your writing has been copied and modified to the extent that doesn’t make rewritten content unique or creative. The fact that the drink contains caffeine doesn’t make it delicious!
What we suggest is to install a coffee machine in your office–this way you will be always guaranteed a good cuppa whenever you’re craving it! Another option is to slow down and opt for a mug of tea. Whatever you choose, this will be the right moment to work on your text: take a breath, ask for more time (and next time start working on your paper beforehand!), and think about what beverage your text of the day is. Strong and bold double espresso? Or maybe a dreamy vanilla latte? Build on the base with the facts and examples, add a foam with stylistic details, and pour it into a nice cup using a plagiarism detector so the result looks appealing and unique✨
Dull and unmotivated: quick cup-a-soup
If the whole life is a creative process, cooking is one of the most vivid expressions of it. We need to come up with an idea of a recipe, shop for groceries, and then chop, cut, bake, decorate, and serve…ugh, it even sounds exhausting, especially when you are short on time and energy and just want to eat something nutritious and preferably cooked by someone else! When that’s not an option, we often end up with a quick solution. A cup of soup sounds heartwarming, but instant soup does not that much. However, sometimes it’s the best we are capable of: when there is no inspiration, all that’s left is to look for the ready solutions. In writing the text, we take someone’s content and alter it to sound original. Meanwhile, it will lack wholesomeness and soul–just like a watery soup from the cup!
✨What we suggest is to go to a place that fills your own cup. Maybe it’s a friend’s or relative’s house, a park, a gallery, or a nice restaurant where they’ll serve that delicious soup for you! Sometimes all we need is to restore our creative power and stay in a consumer mode so later we can return to the kitchen with new ideas and energy. Take a break, go for a walk, read something for pleasure, and get back to your writing with a fresh head. Check for plagiarism to ensure authenticity, and be ready to inspire others with your awesome texts!
