Have you heard about “Writer’s Block”? If you own a blog or like to write articles, then you might have even experienced it. As the name suggests, it is the inability to use your creativity to write. Everyone trying to write something creative is once in a while affected by it. 

You get struck by an idea, and plan to convert into a blog post. When you begin, you are so very sure that the post will top your popular posts chart. You are confident that your readers will love it. But, after writing a paragraph or two, you are in a high and are at a lose of words. 

You know the article is incomplete and stopping it there will definitely won’t sound nice. You found that the founding idea which intrigued you, has left you, and you aren’t able to build upon that idea and complete it. Dejected you push the incomplete mansion into the draft. And there it lays forgotten.

The human mind generates about 50 thousands thoughts per day. Some thoughts are like passing clouds. You might be enlightened by them but later on you forget what that thought was. Though you might have thought that it could have made a great blog post for your readers to read and think about.

Do you strike a chord with whatever I just said? If you own a blog or write articles, then I am pretty sure, you would have.

This happens. These small things are what makes us real humans. But you don’t like them to happen. So what can you do?

Solving the “I don’t have anything to blog about” problem

Thoughts flow pretty fast. It is practically not possible to remember each and every thought that has passed you. However, some thoughts remain with you, mostly those involving your personal life. Many others regarding the articles you read, the news you see and the people you meet. The practice of taking notes might look stupid to some who have great faith in their memory. But since we are real humans and not the ideal ones, we can never know when our memory will fail, to retrieve that one piece of thought. 

Write with an aim in your mind

Yes, write down those thoughts that amuse you. Later you will find them useful to write great articles and inspires and amuses people visiting your blog! Also before starting to write a blog post, make sure the article has an aim and a goal. Make sure the article gives the readers something to learn or think about.

Say for example, through this article, I am telling you to plan before you start writing. Ensure that you know what the article will tell on the whole. How you want to start, what you wish to tell and how you shall complete it. This can prevent the “Writer’s Block” I mentioned before, and you can complete your article in the way you wanted.
