FHK SitRep 11.14.07: Combatting “Blogger’s Block”

“Blogger’s Block” is the new “Writer’s Block.” You know that feeling…you sit down to write a blog post, and just stare at the paper - except, now it’s the screen. You wait for the virtual muse to visit, only to be stood up, again. Don’t worry. You’re not alone. Other bloggers have had that same problem, and have written about what has helped them overcome it. Here are a few ideas:

Manaj Jasra begins a series on Blogger’s Block with these suggestions for places to look for inspritation - hot industry stories, relationships with PR firms, Google hot trends, correlating common interests, and guest bloggers. (Read more, here.)

ProBlogger also has some great ideas - change your environment, keep an idea journal, collaborate with other bloggers, and much more, here.

If that doesn’t do it, here is an entire collection, on the Creativity Portal, of online writing prompts and idea generators (hat-tip Blogger Buzz) sure to break you out of that rut.

Good luck. Now, go blog something!

This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

...and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
