3 Steps to Overcome Writer’s Block

Posted by Tom Jamieson

I have seen and read many blog posts, comments, status updates, and tweets lately about the topic of writer’s block. It seems this is a common problem among writers and one that is talked about regularly.

Therefore, I thought I would throw my hat into the writer’s block ring and offer the following 3 ways to overcome writer’s block. These are by no means all-inclusive or exhaustive, but are a few things that have helped me in my own writing and blogging, so I hope they will help you as well.

Take a Hike
Literally. Leave your home, office, or other workspace and clear your head. View the world. See things from a new perspective. Talk to someone in person or on the phone. Just do something besides worrying about that next blog post.

Get a Blogging Buddy
Two pro bloggers that have supported this idea recently are Aaron Lee and John Saddington (AKA TentBlogger). Having someone to help you write and to bounce ideas off of can be invaluable. It also keeps you accountable.

Read
There’s nothing that’s gets the creative juices flowing like reading. Three places I find helpful to read when I have writer’s block include StumbleUpon, my Twitter favorites, and my starred items in Google Reader. You can also find inspiration by reading other blogs in your niche.

So the question is – where do you find help in overcoming writer’s block?

Thank you so much for reading my humble musings and ramblings here at Footsteps of Faith. If you like this blog, would you consider sharing it on Twitter, Facebook, or your blog? You can also subscribe by email or RSS feed to ensure you stay up-to-date with the newest posts. Thanks again for reading!
