Writer’s Block when you have Multiple Blogs
It’s no secret that blogs that are regularly updated garner more traffic than those that lay dormant. When you maintain several blogs, a case of writer’s block can serious make an impact in your overall traffic. Writer’s block is inevitable as some days it just doesn’t seem there is anything to talk about. How to get through the dull periods of blogging with multiple blogs can be extremely challenging. Here is some advice.
Read like-minded blogs. Open your feed reader and devour through some blogs that you haven’t visited in a while especially if they are of the same subject as your blog. This is a good way to get some sort of fresh blog ideas. Sometimes reading on a subject can inspire a blog post from a different angle or perspective on the same subject.
Go Shopping. Getting out and about in your city can help you find interesting and relevant content for your blog no matter what the subject. Visiting stores, looking the merchandise, or just people watching can all give way to inspiration. It can also help to clear your head to be out of the house and away from the computer.
Go for a Walk. Walking is another great way to clear your head. It also works if you’re short on cash and can’t shop unless you are spending money. Load up the MP3 player, lace up your shoes, and hit the trail. I come up with some of my best ideas while walking.
Brainstorm once a week. I like to keep a notebook of ideas that I add to each Sunday. I don’t spend that long writing down ideas. Maybe at most I spend 15 minutes doing this exercise. It helps to give me ideas for the week if I need them.
Clean your living space. Again I think this works for me because I can clear my mind and focus on something that isn’t related to computer work. It’s also nice to work with a clean desk or an uncluttered floor space. It’s like the cleaner my desk is, the less cluttered my mind is. So, if you have housework to do, get some of it accomplished and get it off your mind.
These are a few of my methods for dealing with writer’s block. Once I have a subject and direction, the words seem to follow. Share your best method for dealing with writer’s block by leaving a comment.
