I just did a post about this subject as well, because a fellow blogger was stuck in a rut of writer’s block: http://kikolani.com/blogging-writers-block.html. My ideas included reading other blogs, doing something to help others (charities, posts to direct traffic to other blogs), and stockpiling posts on creative days to use for dry ones.

Thanks for so many ideas. I think I might try different ones on different days and see which ones work best for me.

Thanks so much for this informative post. These are great ideas. I am fortunate enough to have a laptop and particularly like the idea of going to the beach to write posts! I have bookmarked your blog and I’ll certainly be back.

I recently started my blog and burned out three articles for the launch. After all the effort (writing, editing and then the blog setup itself) I found myself drained of ideas for a few days. A balance is certainly necessary. I usually find I have a couple of ideas floating around which I make a mental note of and then start typing once I’ve got a spare few minutes.

My Mother is a professional writer, and she even have difficulty to write at times. She get a subject and does good reserch on it, writes down bullet points and other info.

Then uses it as referance material for the book that she is writing, sometimes she stays up around the clock and keeps writing pages after pages. Other times when nothing happens she just takes a brake from writing and comes back fresh and new :).

The Urbane Lion and I have duelling blogs (he said/she said), so each weekend we brainstorm topics for the upcoming week. Sometimes we go with the idea thrown out, while other times we might say “Hmmm….not quite that, but what about..?” Moral of the story: it really helps to bounce ideas off another person. We happen to be co-creators, but you don’t have to be.

Definitely a bookmark-worthy post. I’d have to say that is the biggest challenge with blogging… maintaining the quality of your blog by thinking up new and great topics to blog about.

These are some great ideas! I bookmarked this because I need to see things like this when I get stuck. I really like the idea to come up with a title first, then write the post. I often do this backwards, which makes it harder for me.

I like to go to one of my book shelves and browse at titles. Something always suggests itself, and then boom! off you go.

I think what you are suggesting here is a pretty neat idea. Even myself was most of the time stuck on what to write for my blogs. Sometimes, it’s not that I’m lack of subject to write on, it’s just that I’m lost for words. This will help a lot of bloggers including myself.

Darren – always insightful. I’ve taken one of your suggestions, of asking readers a question, and wrapped it up in a contest to reward users for participating. Calling it Cool Comment Contest where readers who post the coolest comment win $50. Would love to hear what you think of the approach. You can check it out here: http://www.carbonoffsetsdaily.com/win-50

I really enjoyed this post. Thanks Darren! I will definitely be trying out a few of these ideas. Generally I just grab whatever is floating in my mind at the moment and go with it. When all else fails I go with a list of post of links.

This is truly a brilliant post. We’ll never run short of ideas again. The real challenge I am facing is the one of maintaining enthusiasm. How do you keep yourself motivated month after month?
