Hi Matt, I understand what you mean about not caring about the outcome. I do have a blog like that where I speak freely and I don’t worry either, liberating. That’s true, it doesn’t have to be perfect…. Thanks for stopping by, will check you out later.

I used to have block all the time and then I decided to start writing in a way that I didn’t care about the outcome (of course I edit) and when I did that for a while it just started to flow for me. Now what used to take me 1/2 a day to do can take me as little as 15 minutes. It doesn’t have to be perfect it has to get done…

Hi Natural, This is a great list. I wish I had more time to read, as that always inspires me. I do jot down notes all the time, and sometimes even get out of bed and start a draft post. My creativity seems to kick in late at night. Barbara Swafford's last blog post..How To Get and/or Add A Gravatar To Your Post Comments

You actually got me out of my writers block a while ago, remember?. There are things out there that trigger us to write, my only problem is I come out looking like so angry person most of the time since anger triggers my writing. I have to find happy things to write about. So don’t mistake my absence for writers block, I’ll be waiting for something happy to come along.

I try to keep notes on topics I want to explore (you know, the stuff that pops in your head when you have a dozen other priorities to attend to first).
If there’s nothing solid, I go running without my Ipod. It’s good for brain flow; I do a lot of writing in my head when my feet are moving!

Thanks Michael, I checked out that link too. I remember Jack when he used to anchor with Sue Simmons on NBC.

The world is full of stuff to blog about…look at it from all angles and get writing.

The “Read, Read, Read” tip is the most effective one of all in cases of writer’s block, in my opinion. There is so much going on in the world that you’re sure to come across something that grabs your attention and pulls out an opinion from you.

For those folks who follow politics at all, here’s a tip: Jack Cafferty of CNN has already thought of today’s blog topic for you. Go to http://www.cnn.com/caffertyfile and look at his “Question of the Day”. It’s widely popular on CNN so it’s guaranteed to strike a chord with your readers.

I use it from time to time on my “News” blog, and I always give credit where credit is due: “Today on the Cafferty File he asked Americans…”
