300 WORDS - And That's All She Wrote

So here is the thing, it is day 5 of a new year and already I want a 'do over' day, or a reset day, or whatever you want to call a wasted day, or two or five!

I have written content, but for some reason I hit 300 words and my article is finished. Done, Finished, Finito!

This has been an ongoing issue for the past 5 months, and if I am really honest a lot longer than that. It's like some kind of mental block, or black out, because when I try and push more into the article it just doesn't fit right.

It's not that I don't have lots to say, I know I sure like to talk. So why oh why is 300 words seeming to be my limit.

Writer's Block

I looked up the definition of writer's block and I really don't seem to have that as I can write, but just not beyond 300 words. I may not be creative, or original, or have any great flare for writing, but it is something I love to do.

I write "in my head" constantly, so it is not a lack of ideas. It's just when it's done it's done and I can't seem to push anymore.

WA GO GETTERS (WAGG)

I have been following Bo Tipton and his group WA GoGetters and marvel at how they all are writing about the same thing, but they all are able to write engaging content. So I guess even as I write this I am answering my own query, follow the steps taught here.

1. what the problem is your addressing.
2. find and offer the solution
3. the benefits for them and tell it
4. sell the reader on respondinding (call to action) In a sales seminar the call to action was the most important part.

Conclusion

To write more with the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How in the content, and write with each of the 4 steps listed above front and center in my mind. Just break the glass ceiling of the 300 word limit!
