There is no such thing as writers block
Writers block seems to be a common topic sometimes with people struggling to come up with something to write.
I was once told that there was no such thing as writers block. The proof of this was have you ever had a 'talkers block'? Especially on someones favorite topic. Most people can talk for hours. They might make mistakes and at time they say the wrong thing, and it isn't always a quality conversation but the main thing was they talked.
When you get 'writers block' again try just writing - anything. The first thing that pops into your head, the more you put pen to paper or finger to keyboard the more likely you will find that quality ideas will start to flow.
When you think you have the basis of a post then save it, walk away and come back to it a few hours later or even the following day. At this stage you will find that the editing comes easily and the post takes shape very quickly.
And if that doesn't work try just talking and recording and then come back to listen to what you said. You will be quite surprised by the results.
All the best

A good way to get going again. Just like when you fall off a bike just get straight back on it.
Ahh...recording it, is a beautiful suggestion. Why I did not think of it. Thank you Russell. It good to be in the community. People keep sharing ideas. We compete, in the healthy business culture..
Yep, it's one of the rules......just sit down and write anything that comes to mind even if it's gobeldy goop. ~Debbi
Really great post, Russell. I seldom experience writer's block, or for that matter, talker's block, but I know it happens. That's one very good reason to choose a niche that you enjoy discussing. If you do have a writer's block, do what Russell says, talk it out and it will be so much easier to do that if you're talking about something you enjoy.
A great post Russell. I will remember your suggestions and more than likely taken action very soon!
