Writer's Block

I have been suffering from a writer's block this week. I have tons of keywords I want to write with, but nothing would flow through my fingers. When I sit down to write a post, I usually have a game plan. My writing can sometimes be more on the technical side, even though that is not my intention. I created my website to express myself and my experiences, but also to educate people at the same time. I have been trying to add small touches of personal stories in with my writing. I feel sometimes that the technical side is important. My posts have been lucky to reach the 1,000 word suggestion.


Tonight, I tried something different. I had a topic in my heart, but I had done no keyword research on it. I knew it was probably a very saturated topic. Instead of heading over to Jaaxy to see what I could find, I opened a word document. I started typing my fingers like crazy. It seemed once I started, I couldn't stop. I have had a long day today, and it is almost 1 am here. I finished writing and read through it. I had really impressed myself.

This was actually the writing I have wanted to do from the beginning. It was my story, and how this subject fit into my life. When I was done reading, I went back through and deleted things because I was afraid it was too long. I ended up with a little of 1,500 words. I was afraid I would have to scratch the whole thing because I wasn't sure if I could find my low hanging keywords. After several attempts, I finally found the perfect combination.

I was so excited about how well it went, that I had to come here and post about it. I wanted to let everyone know that if they are having problems with content, try something new. You never know how great it may end up! I will try to get some rest now, hopefully my excitement won't keep me up too much longer. Good night WAmily!

Lindsay,

Well done. Take a breather and get some rest. I've found that just walking away for a while, maybe a day, is enough to get the juices flowing. I've talked about one thing that helps me. I use a voice recorder to capture random thoughts that pop into my head. I can use those later as I begin to research.

Anyway, good luck to you
Greg

I like the idea of a voice recorder to capture ideas! My short term memory is horrible and I forget to write my ideas down half the time. Thanks for the tip!

My pleasure Lindsay.

That's GREAT Lindsay, and the more you do it, the better you will get at it, my friend!

Thank you.

You're welcome!

Great breakthrough!
Thanks!
Isaiah 😊

Thank you

Hi Lindsay,
I find I have to write notes when an idea comes into my head which act as prompts when I start writing.
Pleased to hear you have got over the writers block.
Thanks for sharing.

I have idea written down but when I was trying to write from them, it just wasn't happening. I would just look at a blank screen.

Hi Lindsay, when you tried something different the other night and you wrote and wrote, can you not adapt what you wrote to suit . It could even spark off something else and get you back on track with your niche. Just a thought!
Best of Luck.
Regards
Wilson

Thanks for that!
