10 more way to crack (blogger) writer’s block

salam :)

[aku copy and paste jek]

There’s a nice post on MakeYouGoHmm.com that lists 49 jump starts if you’re staring at a blank screen trying to think of a blog post. Some of his suggestions have worked for me: reviewing a book, for example. I’d add the following:

1. Your obvious is your talent. Find something that you do everyday that may not be obvious to other people and write about that.

2. Lists provoke thoughts. For me, at least, taking a topic and then writing a list seems to generate new ideas that hadn’t occurred to me before.

3. Ask why. Pick a topic and speculate on why it happens.

4. Ask how. Ditto but how!

5. Interview someone.

6. Start a campaign. Find something objectionable (in my case lazy writing) and keep citing examples of it until change occurs.

7. Find a role model. Who writes well? Who do you admire? Praise them. The media is full of negative stories but it’s your blog, so write a positive one.

8. Expand on someone else’s idea. The blogosphere is a conversation. Take something (with attribution) and add your own original thoughts. Like this post.

9. Cartoons. Sketches, diagrams. Anything that makes your point without words. (See my previous post ‘A picture is worth a thousand words‘).

10. Build on a phrase. Sometimes a small phrase pops into my head and it inspires a whole article. Listen to your inner voice.
