Writing is an Art Well for me that is. I never wrote a diary, not even in a diary for a friend. Yes I write but that is more on the professional level like an email to colleagues and documentation at work but here at Wealthy Affiliate it is a little bit different. Writing with the intent to attract visitors to your site and hope they read it. Not leaving after 10 seconds but really read your article.

That article you are writing will be in your niche, writing quality content that visitors to your site find attractive and if possible share with others because it is funny or it gives the reader a solution to their problem or at least to have them think and steer them in a direction that gives them options.

But that article can also be something totally different, not directly in your niche area however when the words flow then automatically somewhere a link in the content will be made with your niche. The writing is not a problem, just start and the words will follow but is that quality or just a story that you like and hope that others like it too.

If I can Write a Story so can You

Did you read stories for your children when they were young or did your parents read you stories out a book or just words that popped up in their minds and you loved it until you fell asleep. Isn’t it very similar only that you now write the words on paper or in this case the computer.

What is Driving your Mind to Write that Story?

I have a few sites in different niches which is great because I can concentrate on one item for a few days finish my article and then move on to the next that has no relation with my earlier article which keeps my mind fresh and hopefully does not get me, which is probably one of the biggest fear of writers, a writing blockage.

This is the same for writing music. You can write music and suddenly it stops, nothing new comes to your mind and that is a pity. Yes you can play the music you always have played but having a music blockage prevents you writing new music.

At the time of writing I am watching or better listening to YouTube music videos on my TV. And being a classical guitarist myself for over 20 years I just love to hear for example John Williams playing Recuerdos de la Alhambra which for me is a good inspiration and let me relax at the same time.

Inspiration will come automatically which is good for my content writing but is it quality content? It is unique because I write it myself, no copy past or plagiarism so that is good.

Feeling Relaxed

Having music on the background, I should try headphones one day, give me inspiration to write without being distracted, well I should turn my back to the TV, videos are distracting.

Anyway, writing is an art and that means that I do go back to my text and read it again, update it and always forget the spelling checker. As I write in Google Docs I still have to see if there is a grammar checker but for the moment this should do it. Just read the text again and even reading the text new articles already pop up in my head and need to write these down.

To finalise a beautiful song Hallelujah performed by Per-Olov Kindgren on the classical guitar, yes I play that song too, time to buy a guitar again.

Before finishing one question where do you get the inspiration from to write?
