Ideas for blog posts? Writing inspiration
Some afternoons I sit in front of my laptop wondering what I should blog about. Some afternoons it comes really easy, but more often than not I’ll sit in front of the screen and my mind just goes blank!
Whenever I have that ‘brain crash’ I start surfing Digg, Technorati, and del.icio.us and checkout their respective front pages to see what people are blogging about, what news items are hitting the front page, and any other tid bits I can find. Some times this helps, some times it doesn’t.
And if that doesn’t help I’ll fire up my Google Reader account and go through all my RSS feeds and checkout what all my RSS friends are blogging about and see if there’s any great articles that I can link to and help them, while helping my own hits too of course.
And if that doesn’t work then my last salvation is to head over to Ice Rocket or Google Blog Search and do some searches on a bunch of random interests I have to see if I can find some new blogs to read and / or subscribe to.
Usually I’ll be able to get something out of one of those resources to write about, and voila a blog post is born.
Sooooo when you’re having a mental block, what do you do for writing inspiration?
