How do you guys deal with writers block, I am new here in hubpages and just after making two posts or rather articles, every time I try to to come up with a new topic I just go blank like oO . Please Share you thoughts and experiences, I would greatly appreciate any help.
I get the opposite problem - too much to write about, not enough time.
Write about your interests in life and hobbies. Or when you are 'people watching' you can come up with some ideas. I like to write motivational articles to make people smile and help others so maybe someday it will be a better world.
What ever takes your mind like the wind and your ideas travel through to your fingers, just keep on writing and never stop.
I've done a couple hubs on this topic but what I suggest off the top is to look at what you've written already and see if there is a sub-area that can be expounded upon. Look at subheadings in your hubs and see what you might share more about that would be interesting.
Also, what was your favorite subject in school? Break it down into smaller subjects and see what you can come up with. What is a pet peeve of yours? Write about it with passion. I hate the way women keep public restrooms so disgusting so I wrote about it. It was very cathartic.
Can I suggest these news aggregators - good way to trigger thought bubbles about your favorite topics.

Are you suffering from what is called the 'Writer's block'?For months I have been unable to write something on hubpages. I have had brilliant ideas but I end up procrastinating and telling myself that those ideas are best left to be written later for the book I intend to write someday. In the...

I keep starting hubs and then losing interest in finishing them. I think it's because I'm really not sure what to write. One thing I have found out though, is that if I know someone wants to read about it, I get inspired enough to work on that hub full force. (Too bad I don't get many requests and...
