Have you suffered from writer’s block?

We have all been there.

I have certainly been there.

I recall my newborn blogger days. I fell to the floor in frustration after writing 300 words. OK; perhaps I dramatized the process a wee bit.

I collapsed to the floor in tears after writing 300 words (That’s a joke).

However, I did not find it funny every time I suffered a head on collision with dreaded writer’s block. Ideas did not enter my mind. My creativity died. Blogging sucked during those days. You may know that feeling all too well. When the words seem not to flow we all know that debilitating frustration kicks in. The hopeless feeling creates an even greater idea block. Yuck.

Look for Ways to Create

Exploring techniques for boosting creativity opened the flood gates of blog post ideas. Currently I offer a little south of 500 Blogging From Paradise posts. Yet I have created thousands of posts for:

social media like X/Twitter, Facebook and Linked (videos, live broadcasts, text-only content)
forums

Never mind guest posts and genuine blog comments. I offer up some whoppers through both channels.

No limits on creativity exist. Ways to help people seem just about unlimited, too, because every platform survives based on content. Content stimulates engagement. Engagement stimulates users to remain onsite. People who stick around create communities. Various success markers steadily increase based on community growth.

Content primes the pump for this process.

Ask the Question

Being creative starts with asking a question.

How do you intend to be creative today?

How did you increase your creativity? How can you be more creative?

Sit with these questions. Relax. Find a quiet room. Shut the door. Throw your phone away for a bit. Drop it in a lock-box if need be. Put the externals away. Focus on your mind. Do inner work.

Ponder ways to help people freely. Give yourself time to think through creative channels. Being creative may simply mean reading a blog post, gathering your thoughts and publishing an in-depth comment in response to the post through your written word. Or perhaps you feel guided to set aside time to write and publish a blog post. You can broadcast live on Facebook, you know? Perhaps writing and submitting a guest post stokes your creative fire.

Digging into the answers for this question may be uncomfortable for you and I because being creative goads you to let go fears fueling a former lack of creativity. No blogger enjoys feeling these fears. Each roots itself in worthiness or deserving issues. Edge through each fear you must if you intend to be creative, or outright prolific.

Let the discomfort arise in mind. Feel it. Forgive it, or look past it, to be creative once again. Ideas arrive after dissolving mental blocks appearing to block ideas. You allow the blocks to dissolve by facing intimately personal fears fueling the limiting beliefs.

Ideas Possess a Shelf Life

All ideas possess a shelf life. Grab and use ideas or else ideas die. Sure you think it may come around again. But once the moment passes you lose the idea for that very moment, forever. The moment exists. Seize it or it vanishes. Snare the idea now. Act on it immediately, in some way, shape or form.

Every blogger knows how this goes. Sometimes it happens overnight. A fabulous blog post idea emerges in the mind after you get up to use the loo. But since you did not take it down you cannot remember it after waking in the morning. Long forgotten, the idea graveyard claims another member; another one bites the dust.

I snagged this post idea, wrote the post and published the post before the idea died in my mind. Being creative goads you to seize and use ideas now before the ideas vanish from your mind. Seeing this process through made me more:

confident
creative
prolific

because I recorded the idea and acted on it immediately.

Bloggers talk of losing creative momentum; no one genuinely loses anything in a universe of abundance. But if you delay on seizing and executing ideas pronto you can and will struggle to be a creative blogger. It all depends on your willingness to be open to ideas, then to act on these ideas immediately. Seize ’em. Use ’em. Or lose ’em.

Practical Tips

record blog post ideas by dictating those suckers into your phone
carry a pen and pad to record ideas; do it old skool
open your WordPress backoffice to record ideas as blog post titles; take that step to get serious about being prolific

Ease into Discomfort

Does jamming this idea into a blog post feel particularly easy, in the moment? Nope. I feel a bit behind schedule after being busy with stuff to do around the crib earlier today. But create I must, even if it feels a little bit uncomfortable……because the more I create, the more creative I become.

The formula feels simple but tough to execute sometimes. But this is the life of a professional blogger. Either create to become more creative or move in the opposite direction to become less creative. Everything depends on you and your intimately personal choices. All occurs when you delve within to root out fears appearing to lessen your creativity.

Create!
