    Hey,

    I wanted to submit this thread Today and share my advice with other Bloggers who I'm guessing usually have the same problem as me... "Writers Block" :mad:

    There’s nothing more annoying than finally finding the time to write a new Blog post, and your minds empty. Writer’s block effects every Blogger at some point in time because it’s a natural process in a Bloggers career. But there’s one thing you should never do when you in a rut, and that’s try and fight through it. Don’t just sit there and wait for inspiration, there are in fact certain ways to kill witters block in it’s place. Sure, some of these may seem obvious, but they work and that’s the important thing.

    1. Get away from your Blog!

    One of the best ways I overcome writters block, is to back off from my computer. Leave my iPhone in the house and go for a walk. It sounds silly but it works everytime. Give yourself time to clear your head and you’ll always benifit from it. Without the distraction of browsing the web your sure to come up with a ton of new ideas.

    2. It doesn’t have to be perfect

    Throw away the idea that a post has to be perfect every time. If you constantly aspire to be the best at everything you won’t be. It’s very hard to start writing something when you have a self-imposed pressure hanging over your head. Relax, don’t take it so seriously and the words will come.

    3. Build a outline and start small

    Sometimes the fear of writing of a long post can be daunting task, and cause you to become less motivated because it can feel like a chore. What I recommend is starting ti off small. Write a list of points your going to talk about and tackle them one by one as they come. This will increase your motivation because you will have already mapped out your new post.

    4. The notebook approach

    This is something I think all Bloggers should do, whether it’s pen and paper or just having notepad open, write down your ideas as they come to you. It’s very easy to forgett new post concepts and having a back log of exciting new ones will always help. It’s a brilliant habbit you should definetly get into.

    5. Answering your readers

    If you have a busy community of commentors on your Blog then this is a great way of coing up with new posts. Look for any questions that your readers are asking you, and if you can make a post out of the asnwer, then do it. It’s a fantastic way of letting your readers know your lisening to them.

    6. Start a series of articles

    This is a great way of motivating your writing and having something to talk about. Start a series of posts aimed on a subject, something like “15 days to loose weight”, and every day make a post alligned around that idea (e.g Day #1 Title, Day #2 Second title). This will also help increase your recurring traffic.

    I hope these tips will help you overcome your writers block, if you have any "home remidys" of your own then I’d love to hear them, reply to this thread with your points.

    Thanks :)
