I hate getting writers block, it’s so frustrating when you have some free time to sit down and write and you’re just stuck. Before you know it the kids either need attention or it’s so late that if you don’t go to sleep now you won’t survive the day tomorrow. Time is money and writers block is like a tax.

Well I just discovered a good way to prevent writers block. It might be common sense to you but it’s rocket science to me and it’s really helped

In the past I’ve found that I was wasting a lot of time trying to write catchy titles for my blog entries. I was not only wasting a lot of time but I was also creating a block that would prevent me from completing the entries. By the time I ‘d come up with the good titles I’d forget all the good ideas I had just a few minutes ago. Then I’d spend the next hour staring at the screen trying to finish. Sometimes I’d get frustrated and just end up deleting what could have been a good blog entry.

Tonight it hit me, when I get an idea for a blog entry just go ahead and start writing the entry, forget the title. I can always worry about writing the title later, in fact they usually end up better that way. Use my creativity for the writing and then pull a title from the entry, simple isn’t it.

If this helps you pass it on.
