I once wrote a poem on a napkin in a restaurant and it was later published (twice). If you are a blogger then you're also a writer, so think like a writer and be prepared!

Writing The Old Fashioned Way

Try writing your blog post articles by hand. 90% of everything I write is written by hand in my writer's notebook somewhere away from the computer. It's easier to be creative when writing by hand in a comfortable setting then when sitting at the computer. Now I realize that this seems like an unnecessary extra step but if I were to try to come up with an article while sitting at the computer it would be next to impossible and take much longer since I'm at my least creative when working on the computer. After I'm finished my article I copy on to the computer, edit it, spell check it, and finally publish it.

Find Out What Works

Read other blogs! This is a must for bloggers because by reading other blogs you can learn what topics work and what ones don't. Get an idea of what other people find interesting. Write content that will entertain, interest, or enlighten your readers. If you provide valuable information readers are likely to return to see what you will write next.

Still stumped?

Try these ideas to tap into your creativity:

1) Spend time outdoors, nature and creativity go hand in hand, a walk in the park might be just what you need to unleash your inner creativity.

2) Listen to inspiring music. Different types of music inspire different types of people, so whether you listen to classical, rap, or dance music, use it to get you into a creative mood.

3) Use the Clustering Technique that writer's and artists use to tap into the creative part of their brain to become instantly creative. Just simply write down a word or phrase about the topic you want to write about, then let your mind relax as you write down all of the words that come into your mind as you focus on those keywords. Once the words start flowing, you'll have an article written in no time.
