What do you do when you don’t know what to write?
Do you stare at the blank page until it flickers on the computer screen, your eyes burning?
Or do you slam the lid of your laptop in frustration and push it aside, planning to come back to it later? Until later becomes that mysterious moment that is always just out of your grasp.
Maybe you seek inspiration from the internet or a good book; perhaps you head out into the world to take a walk.
You might be one of those people who get their best ideas in the shower.
If you’re struggling, don’t be afraid. Pick up a pen or press your fingertips to the keyboard and just write. Switch off that filter that holds you back, that tells you you’re not good enough.
Just write, and see where the words will take you.
Sara Strauss says
I can’t just stare at a blank page until something comes. It feels terrible just waiting for inspiration to strike, so I do things instead — read, go outside, hang out with friends, anything, and that’s usually when an idea begins.

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long)
so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole
thing. Do you have any points for newbie blog writers?
I’d really appreciate it.
Amy Lord says
Hey Salvador, glad you’re enjoying reading the blog! I’d say try to keep a regular post schedule for your readers and interact with them as much as you can. It’s also helped me to make friends with other bloggers who write about similar things, as they make a great support and inspiration network. Good luck with the blog!
