Overcoming Writer’s Block

No matter what your business - big corporation or work at home mom -  if you are hoping for free search engine traffic, you will want to produce content that’s unique to your business and in copious amounts for blogs, press releases, sales copy, catalogs, etc…

Suddenly you can turn your words into money … or so it seems for a while.

That sounds good until writer’s block sets in!

Here, Georganne Fiumara the author of Write An Article A Day The Easy Way tells how to overcome this dreaded maladay authors and copywriters face everyday:

Question: Please, please tell me, how can I overcome
writer’s block?

Answer: I feel your pain. Writer’s block is related to
procrastination, but is much more serious. It stops us dead
in our tracks and strikes fear in our hearts. It doesn’t
have to be that way. If you follow the same writing plan
every time you write, it will eliminate stress and help you
avoid the dreaded WB.

The step-by-step plan in WRITE AN ARTICLE-A-DAY, THE EASY WAY is exactly the type of technique you can use to avoid writer’s block. If you don’t have your copy of the book yet, here are some other techniques you can use to start your fingers flying over the keyboard:

You Are The Boss: If you are having a tough time with a certain part of your article, delete it and go in a different direction. Replace it with something you feel better able to concentrate on.

Switch Things Up: If you can’t write your introduction, write your conclusion!

Google It: Use a search engine to read what others have written on your topic. Don’t copy them but do use their points to stimulate your own creativity.

Take A Walk: Get away from your computer and get a fresh perspective. Or, take your laptop outside and let the sun warm you up.

Just Do It: If you can’t write on your topic, just write about anything that comes into your head. Write about how you have writer’s block, write anything you can think of.

Sometimes, just getting your fingers moving is enough to get your creative juices flowing.

Whatever you decide to do, don’t give up. Only those who give up have no chance to succeed. Sit back, relax and read some articles written by someone you admire. When you least expect it, the clouds will part and your writer’s block will fade away.
