If i keep getting head-block when i want to write something for my blogs, what should i do ?

Question

Hi guys!

I was wondering how come i kept getting head-blocks everytime i want to sit down and write something for my blogs.

What can i do to be more focused and congruent with my goals of writing an article a day for each of my 3 blogs ?

I would appreciate if anybody who had experienced the same situation as me can share with me their views, strategies and ideas.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I did the blog thing for awhile until I realized that, just like an old fashioned paper diary, I was still the primary audience. Occasional blogging is fine, but anymore than that just screams pretentious egomania. The internet is flooded with dust specks proclaiming their significance.

Worry less about quantity and more about quality. Work less on the blogs. Honestly, why so many? Who is your audience? Do you really think that there's an audience haning on your next entry? What is it that you have to say that you think it's worth 3 mediocre articles a day? If your writing is so worthy of being read by a mass audience, why not submit articles to magazines you enjoy reading, or write the novel you've always wanted to publish? Don't settle for oodles of mediocrity. Have faith that your writing will find its audience.

Answer 2

My goodness, when blog sites and the software became available I thought, "wow, they've given me a soapbox!"

Hey, a writer writes, it's an old adage and if you are keeping up three blogs - then I say, "good for you", keep writing and have fun with it.

Personally, I can get blocks and I've found that thinking of something else can grease the skids and make ideas come to me. Y'know, some people say, "sleep on it."

Like one of the answers above this one, it's true you are, really, just writing for yourself -- most authors are. There is some ego involvement thinking someone might enjoy your musings, but just write for yourself! I find if I know, say .... my father is reading my blogs I begin self-editing and shut down. So, keep it as a personal rant on life and society, which is what I do ... and fire away!

3 blogs... wow.. that's like writing 3 articles a day. For starters... don't try to cramp all the writing at one go. Go out, walk around and observe things that are happening around you. Get some fresh inspiration from the scene outside. It may be easier to write them one by one. At any time during the day, when an idea hits you, just jot it down first. Develop it later when you are settled down and away from possible distractions.

This is what i used to do when i was in college. Write down things as they come to you. Don't worry about what it is just write it down. Fill up as may pages as you can then start to create from there. It help me a lot in school. It doesn't matter what it is!

Answer 5

you should take a break...walk around the park or sumthing to clear your head...observe the surroundings and you might get inspired and jot it down on a notepad you bring along.
or you could ramble about issues concerning your country or hollywood or the ecosystem...it all depends on what pops up in your head.
