With the simple one, two step to create a blog, I believe that bloggers don’t just maintain a blog, but several on different niche. I, myself maintaining 4 blogs overall. One personal, one my profession, one my hobby and one for my own company. They do share a little bit if not all related content. However, a draft offline is good thing, However, more often than none, we as a blogger will come into blogger-block. While you’re in the total lost, here are what you can do to boost up some inspiration for your next writing.

More thinking when you’re rest

I always try to keep my laptop and my mobile phone close to me when I’m taking a rest or a tea time. Mainly because I might have something pop up in my mind and needed to note them down. In Windows, I always has Wordpad readily open for drafting. As for my mobile phone, I used a QWERTY keyboard ready Nokia E71, which give me convenient to write pretty fast on QuickOffice, then later I will transfer it via bluetooth to my laptop.

Draft everything and anything

Anything will be on the draft list. From point form to a sentence. This is the ensure that I have everything write down already, before they vanish. From there on, I will take a little bit of my time scanning through the points, and see which blog they most suitable to, only then I start to write the full content.

Stop worrying about image, video or link

Sometimes, you suddenly though of a news from a website giving you the information, but you can’t online at the moment or wanted to research one it. Try not to do that, most probably those activities will distract you from drafting and ended up you login to your Facebook chatting with your friends instead. Give yourself a personal legend. I would give myself some note in a blanket and later on. When I’m ready to publish the content, I will know what I need to look for, an image, a video or a piece of URL.

Start with a title

People often say that, title is the most difficult thing to think of when you finished an article. That’s probably because they are keen on traffic and catchy title. If not, I would have another point of view. It is often the title that would give you an insight of what the content going to be, what point will you have in the content. From there on you’ll have all the inspiration to write the content according to the title.

Check and follow through Social Media

Twitter is one of my inspiration source. Eventhough the 140 character limitation, these tweeple sure do good with them. Very oftern a quote or a poverb will send you a big inspiration of an article you would like to see on your blogs. I oftern come across a few twitter update that has a link to another useful site. I say “useful” site because it’s not the content of the url the tweet gave me, but the other article on the url. Explore into it, don’t stop on one link and click the X button.

Surely you’ll have your own idea on how to keep your inspiration from running away. Do share your experience and idea on keeping your inspiration in the comment.
