Feeling uninspired? Read on for my top three tips for beating blogger's block.
1. Pre-plan.
At some point when you are feeling motivated, work out roughly which content you want to post when - you can always tweak it later to allow for anything topical that comes up.
Make a list of topics you want to write about at some point to refer to when you are feeling uninspired.
Write down some potential headings, or even a couple of short posts to hold in reserve for a bad day, so you still have content going out.
2. Walk away
Not forever, obviously. Take five minutes - make a coffee, go for a walk, read a chapter of a book, do some laundry - anything that isn't blog related. Concentrate on the task at hand and don't think about the post, it's amazing how many times you will come back and know exactly what you wanted to say all along.
3. Just write
Start writing, even if it's utter rubbish (you can always delete it). Usually starting writing is enough to get your creative side going. If you really can't think of what to say, type exactly what is in your head. I once started a post with a line somewhere in the region of "Why am I sat looking at my screen at 1am with no post written". It went from there and was soon written!
