Writers block. how can i fire up my brain.

We've all suffered from it haven't we. It's called writers block. You know, it's that moment when you really need to write another article for your site and nothing happens. The brain goes to sleep. Well, that's especially the case for us old timers.

So I have a tried and trusted method to get your brain fired up and ready to become creative.

Firstly, use a template. Just construct the basic one with a thousand words and five paragraphs.

If I'm struggling to write an article I'll at least try to come up with a title first. Place the title in the title box. You can always change it later so don't be to concerned if you're not totally happy with it. . Now move to the content box and simply write any ideas you might have.

Simply jot down anything you can think of that might be relevant to your blog. Now this is where you'll start having issues trying to come up with ideas. So this is what I do next.

I RESEARCH THE TOPIC:

Yes, I research the topic and jot down ideas while reading other peoples opinions on it. No, I'm not stealing their ideas, I'm simply trying to get my creative juices flowing.

NEVER EVER STEAL SOMEONE ELSES IDEA'S ....

Google doesn't like it, the owner of the idea won't like it, and it's simply not nice.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH LEARNING FROM SOMEONE ELSES CONTENT.

After all, that's how we all learn new things. The idea is to do the research, find out things about your favorite topic you may not have known before, and implement it into your article using your own words and conclusions.

BACK TO THE BLOG.

So now you can return to your blog. At this stage I start dividing the blog into seperate paragraph headings and simply try to write as much as I can under each heading, If you are still having issues then save the document, go and have a coffee tea, alcoholic beverage, or whatever is your fancy, and return to your blog later.

THIS MIGHT TAKE TIME.

Don't panic or be in a hurry. You want to create a useful document with good content. You may have to repeat the above steps several times before you reach the content level and word requirements you are aiming for. Sometimes you may only add one or two ideas or even words. Eventually you will finish it.

THERE WILL BE GOOD DAYS.

There will be days you will be able to write an article in one sitting. So don't let it get you down if the above method seems to take up a bit of time. It's better to leave a project for a while, and try to find inspiration elsewhere before returning to it, then to fail miserably and give up.

I hope this blog helps you. All the Best. Jim
