It is very easy for bloggers to get writer’s block, especially if you keep up a daily blogging routine and all of a sudden it hits you–the brain freeze of “What do I write about next?” Some NaBloPoMo writers may relate to this premise.

I have provided a few tips below on how you can overcome this writing hiccup…

  • Know Your Audience – If your blog is focused around one centered idea or product, surround yourself with media, research, with regard to the idea/product. Social media/networking groups are also a great way to get to know audiences of different aspects of your idea.
  • Review Trends – While researching your idea/product, seek and review trends of what other bloggers are talking about. Maybe one blogger hit a good aspect of your idea, but is missing a key component that he/she did not discuss in their article that you would like to elaborate. This gives your blog an advantage with regard to the specified trend.
  • Backtrack and Pace Yourself – Go back and review your last 5-10 posts. Have you posted about what you wanted to express? Have you missed anything that you wanted to write about but got side-tracked? If you are a goal/schedule minded person, you may want to chart out a calendar or “To-Do” list of what you are wanting to blog about in the short-time future.

These are just a few common, and well-received tips. Feel free to post your strategy/ies for overcoming writer’s block in your blogging efforts.

Happy Blogging! :)

When I’m stressed or lacking sleep my creativity drops like a brick. That’s why I always pre-write a bunch of blog post headlines, and keep adding to the list. That way, you can take advantage of high-creativity times, like rationing your creative supplies.

Great tips. If you have luck to have active visitors in matter of comments, you can get lot of ideas just from them, also.

whenever i get writers block i try and do something totally different, like play a sport or video game or relax my mind, so it can ‘recharge’ and that usually helps.

I give so much creativity to writing original articles for a few bucks that blogging is just wind down time but I do enjoy it. I learn quite a bit from comments. It to me is like socializing but with people who you don’t have to kick out of the house when you have had enough socializing.
