Sorry for the lack of posting lately, like yesterday. I’m suffering from the evil writer’s block, so have been trying to write another post but I just couldn’t get my mind set straight. I think I might be past it now, but this past week was really hard to keep up with on my blog! It’s really a terrible feeling.

I’ve decided to contribute this post to how to get rid of writer’s block. Here are some ways I used and found myself wanting to write today’s post.

1. Think of a new post topic

Most of the time, a post topic will just pop into your head and if you’re smart, you’ll sit down and write about it immediately while the idea is fresh. If the post for that day has already been posted, or you have another post planned, then you can keep it for another day. But, if you have writers block than getting a new post out is what you are striving to do. So maybe having a really good post idea will be enough to get out of the block.

2. Look at how much money you’ve made.

Most of us are trying to make money from blogging. And surely enough, seeing how much money you’ve made from blogging so far could be the best motivation. Earning some money will make you wanting to make more. Hopefully, you’ll find yourself writing a new blog post ten minutes later.

3. Read your idol blogs, a lot.

What blogs serve as your role model? For me, JohnChow.com, Problogger, and Cash Quests are my top idols. A lot of popular and great blogs post more than once a day. I found myself checking up on all of the blogs I read more often. They can serve as really great motivation. Who doesn’t want to be as successful as they are? Don’t worry, you don’t get reader’s block alongside writer’s block, don’t worry.

4. Take the day off from your blog.

Sometimes all you need to get over writer’s block is to not think about writing. Instead, submit a post that you have already written for emergencies (you should always have a couple stored) and do something away from the computer. Go outside, play your favorite video game, or something you enjoy doing. Come back tomorrow with a fresh mind and I bet you’ll want to write new content.

Writer’s block is not very fun, but you’ll get over it. It happens to everyone. These things helped my override the block, so I’m speaking from experience.
Have you ever been through writer’s block? What did you do to get over it?
