Writing is one of the most fun activities you can do. There are times, however, when we get mental blocks. No matter how much we try, no meaningful ideas seems to come out. The below are some suggestions that may help you get out of those "dark times". They have all proven useful to me to some degree.
- When you're inspired, write until all the ideas are out of your head. You may have a couple of blogs worth of materials after each of those inspirational sessions.
- Expose your min to new ideas. Watch a documentary. Read a new book. Attend a class.
- Force it. Write anything until the ideas comes.
- Take a nap. It's possible that you've had a difficult day, get some energy back with a nap.
- Use a pen/pencil with paper. The act of writing is often all I need to get started. It's a feeling that can't be replaced with a keyboard.
- Schedule blog posts in advance. Not only will this remove some of the stress. It will also insure you have a steady stream of posts in the event you couldn't write for a while.
- Exercise. A walk is sometime all I need to clear my head.
- Have a balance, healthy, diet. Food is what gives energy to the body. If your physical health is bothering you, those are thoughts that could of gone towards a blog post.
Hope these tips helps to put you "in the zone". What do you do to overcome a writer's block?
