You've got a GREAT idea you want to write about!

Hmmmm.... where to start....

It's NOT always obvious how to start writing the content for your next post about that great idea.

Oh that dreaded blank screen!

Here are some queues you can use to help you get less of those blank screen syndroms :-)

- Go step by step
- Make an arborescence of what you want to talk about
- make a draft
- Carry around a little notepad and pen
- Take notes
- Take breaks, when you're on something else, very often you'll get "pop ups" about your text :-)

- Take notes

I'll add more to this as my "pop ups" appear ;-)

Your comments and additional guides to help against writer's cramp are welcome :-)

You are right friend. This is what I do that helps me to remember.
Thanks for sharing

My pleasure.

Any additional ideas are welcome :-)

Thank you. Yes, taking a little notebook around is very good advice. Just walking around you may see something that inspires you.
Getting oxygen to the brain and body helps too, which is why we exercise a lot (also helps the old bodies stay in shape for the rigors of WA).
You are always so helpful and positive and you are much appreciated.

Glad you liked it :-)

Hey! ... Inspiration! ... inspiration comes in as 'pop-ups' as you like to say :) ... i find it's also helpful to just move around, stretch, or just get somewhere else for awhile just to refresh the body and noggin (brain that is) ... and then ideas just flow from seemingly outta nowhere... thanks kindly for posting & sharing ... enjoy your participation in The Lounge... enjoy a delightful day! ...
cheerio... :)

I also noticed that when I just start, it may not be good. It may actually be garbage, but with revisions also come more bright ideas. I usually end up adding other great ideas or opinions after going over the It.

So just getting your thoughts down first might even help you come up with better ideas. I also noticed that just starting helps me figure out how I’d like to prioritize my word so they can connect with my reader a lot easier.

I hope this might help you out as well.

Yes the dreaded blank screen!
I have just started to have pen and paper close now.
It does help big time.
Thank you for sharing your tips.

Di :)

Your tricks and tips are welcome too! :-)

Right! Staring at a blank screen is the worst thing we can do.

Thank you for the post really helps.

Thanks! Glad you like it :-)

Thank you so much for this post! This is exactly what I needed! I’m in the process of adding my first content and drawing a blank on exactly what I want to convey on my page! This post assured me I’m not alone and will be ok just put thought into it and write it out! Thanks again!
