Writing Blog Posts for the Uninspired Writer
July 19th 2010 22:10
What do you do when you need to write a blog post and are fresh out of inspiration? Be it for personal or professional reasons, sometimes you have to write something at a time when you know you're not going to produce your best copy.
First thing to do: Look around you. Is there anything that could trigger a post? If the answer is yes, do a quick brainstorming session. Draw a mind-map, cluster the idea. Do you get enough material out of it? Then don't hesitate, roll with it.
Keep an ideas file and save all random bits that might turn into a post into it. Read your notes when you feel uninspired? Does any of your idea fragments jump at you? Again, you're on to a winner here. It doesn't matter that you think you would do the topic better justice if you waited until you felt like writing. You can always come back and rewrite your blog posts.
Are there any blogs or writing websites that you enjoy? Go and check which topics they covered recently and write a response on your blog. Link to your post in the comments of the piece that inspired you.
What do you do when you don't feel like writing but have to do it anyway?
