Writing online - writers block - stuck with what to write about

Writing online are you stuck with the writers block

What to write about is the question that is frequently asked by those who write online . This may also be true of those who are new to it or those who have taken a long break from it. Oh forget it, the truth is there is a point when every writer is faced with this question from time to time. Well, what should one write about, the keywords research and the SEO work that is involved in online writing somehow saps my energy. It becomes an impediment to my flow of thought and to the message or information that I want to deliver. I am sure, even when this isn’t the problem there are certain instances when your creative juices are not flowing as they wont to.

Writing online - Be inspired

Creative skills are something that cannot be forced, they just flow in the spur of the moment. But waiting for things to happen and inspiration to come your way, may not work for those who depend on their writing for a living. Dan Poynter says "If you wait for inspiration to write; you’re not a writer, you’re a waiter.” Here is a quote that I would like to remember everday “I write when I’m inspired, and I see to it that I’m inspired at 9 am every morning.” – Peter DeVries. That is how anyone who writes for a living or may be even writes as a hobby, needs to think. I have been writing on so many topics but, I am at the moment not inspired to publish them, but that is okay, as long as I am writing, I am inspired, the chiseling and polishing can happen later. I am willing to wait, because I know that when I go back to look at a piece that I have written, I end up with an improved and better piece at hand.

What to write about - Online writing dilemma

Creativity slows down when we have too much on our mind, preoccupation, tension and worries are the enemies of an inspired writer. Use this time of less creativity to think up a list of topics to write on and work at what needs to be edited and polished and things that may not take up too much energy. We could also use this time to read. Reading up material could always spark off inspiration. Just a word or a thought is enough. Trying to rush and push through your writing may not be the best thing to do, unless you are willing to go back and rework the whole article, if need be.

How to over come the writer block when you write online

Try to relax and keep your mind open to fresh ideas that flow all the tim,e from newspapers, television, things around you, nature, people the conversations that happen all around you. All these have the seeds of creativity in them. It is left to an individual to pick them up and develop them further as they write. It is when your mind is at ease or when you are doing things that are so far from the actual job of writing, that inspiration flows. Some find that they need to jump out of bed to start writing when the flow is strong.

Having a recorder, a note book or even a cellphone could be the answer to the problems of - what do I write about? The many things that you see, hear enjoy and absorb, are inspiration in themselves. As for me, my passion to reach out to people in trouble causes me to write. Whenever I have a question in my inbox, my creativity flows. When friends asks questions and look up to me for answers, then I have something to write about. People’s problems are my source of inspiration (you know what I mean here, don’t you?) as I write on topics such as self-help and self-improvement. I want to reach out, that is my passion.

Some tips for writing online - overcoming the writers block

Here are some facts to keep in mind while writing online. From my experience and a few others who have shared their experiences with me I do understand that the best way to get through a drought of ideas is to yes, relax, go out for a walk , but more importantly, write, write anything without forcing yourself. If you cannot complete it leave it. Such half written ideas can be picked up and rewritten to at a later date. Some of my best articles have been those that I have gone back to and worked on.

Frequent breaks from writing could spoil the flow. I have faced this problem personally and found that, the work habit that I had formed has now been broken. What do I do now ? I may not have a productive time of writing online but I still work on my skills in different ways. Sometimes I try to write in a style that is different from my normal style and that can become my inspiration. You need to find your inspiration. Find a break-through and you can tell others what to write about.

Try another technique to break through your thought blocks or writer’s block, write some limericks or some absolutely funny, nonsensical poem/ article that break the monotony. Of course I do not publish them, but then they help me get over this writer's block. I share it with my friends or with my kids and have a good laugh, may be all that is all I need to start writing allover again. I suddenly know what to write about.
