How To Overcome Writers Block

Overcoming writers block from time to time to be honest can seem quite annoying especially when you have been on a role for a while! What do you do if you are faced with writers block?  Well for starters you could write an article about how to get around writers block.

Popular Articles
Use a combination of checking stats and how many comments are on a respective post to determine its popularity.  There are two methods that you can use; expand on the topic in a new post or add more points to the same post and change the time stamp.   

Old Articles
This is actually one of my favorites that I use from time to time. When you first start out blogging more than likely you do not have loads of traffic coming to your site and a lot of the older articles you have written more than likely do not have comments or very few comments. Filter through these articles revise, add to them and even change the article title if you think of something catchier.  Then change the time stamp and republish.

Subscribe to Full Feeds RSS
Subscribing to related blogs in the blogoshpere is an excellent easy way to get your creative ideas going in the much needed times of writers block. Use your mybloglog community to find new interesting related sites and you can even search for sites that you can relate too. Then just subscribe to their RSS feed.  

Readers Just Ask Them 
An important aspect that you may have over looked in the past and something you may want to start paying more attention to in the present. When reading comments and responding to them occasionally other topics of discussion will come up and you could use this in a future post since it is already of relevant interest to your readers.

It happens to us all and to be honest since leaving for Romania last week I haven’t really felt like writing with the stresses of work/being away and it’s been hard for me to stay focused on blogging.

    Checking in to see how you’re doing, and it looks like you’re doing just fine! Catch me up on how the money’s flowing in from advertising if you get a chance….as you know, I’m curious! :-)

    I keep on bookmarking pages or content which encourage me to write something about. If I like any website, I bookmark it in a specific folder for later to write a post.

    It might not be effective for everyone, but helps me to keep some niche websites in mind or some nice services.

    Unfortunately, the bookmarked folder is overflowing now :)

    Everytime I come on your blog, I find
    great information. I really wanted to say that today ’cause I never have
    the time to comment. So I stopped by and left you a praise comment fast.
    Keep up the good work.
    All you do here always serve me in a way or another in my blogging
    activity. If you want to know, I currently make $1,500 to $3,000 every
    month since september 2006, and I operate a blog called blogadollar dot
    com wich is about "make a lot of
    real money online    " and aims to be a REAL-LIFE case study, where I
    reveal all day after day. If you want to see it, go to blogadollar dot com.
