A Lack of Inspiration

Yep that time of the month has hit and no i'm not talking about that time of the month, but the one where i don't post for a week and i have nothing written in anticipation for this moment. I have no inspiration at all and i don't know how to get out of it. Many times i have sat down at my laptop and tried writing a post but anything i write just isn't good enough and the ideas i think of are lame.

When i was a English student my lecturers always said when you were stuck for inspiration, just write and eventually you will get a good idea and your inspiration would start again so this is what i am doing. I feel like if i state my inspiration issues then maybe they will go away and i will be able to start blogging again. A few other ways i like to find are inspiration are:

1. Take my self away from the blog
i think that sometimes it is important to remove yourself from your confusion and do something completely different so that when you come back to it you have a fresh outlook. Its like when you are doing a Sudoku you spend ages doing it and get stuck but then when you leave and come back to it you usually find the answer quickly because you have that refreshing break for the mind. Its the same when you are writing, you spend so long planning and thinking of what you want to say but its not until you take a step back that you realise what you want to say.

2. Looking at other blogs for ideas
If that doesn't work then it always good to look at other blogs for inspiration because you never know what other people are writing about, they might be doing a tag post and then you can get involved in that or it might give you ideas for a post slightly different from theirs. I would never say copy someone and the likelihood is that your writing style would be different even if it was the same subject but it will give you something a starting point.

3. Write down ideas when you get them.
I do get a lot of ideas for posts but because i am not very organised and i never have a notebook with me I forget them but if i wrote down all of my ideas i would have more to go on when i am stuck and i would know what i have already written about.

I know there really isn't much to go on with this post and its not really about much but i think it is just a little bit of a ramble that i needed to share. I hope this might help you and hopefully it will help me and i will be back on blogging form so keep your eye out for a new post.
