I have noticed the last couple of months that I have been having a hard time trying to make time for my blog. I’ve also been having a hard time thinking of interesting topics to write about.
I enjoy writing and putting my thoughts down on paper, but I am having a hard time actually making the time for blogging.
I have a full time job and I have a family to take care of, but when I write it brings a peace that I can’t really explain. Although my mind tends to be more active when I am blogging, I feel more relaxed or relieved when I do write.
At this very moment I am working from home, waiting a few call backs and text to see if I can find coverage for an area, and this blog topic came to mind.
Earlier on my twitter, I asked how to make time for blogging. So if you do have something to share, please let me know.
I have come up with a few things to help with writing and posting:
- make time for blogging
- set a side a certain time to blog – clear your schedule
- write the time down like a date or important meeting for yourself
- write down ideas through out the day or when they come to mind
- the note section on my phone was perfect for this
- jot down writings on paper when you’re able to
- sitting in front of the computer wanting to write can be harder than you think; jot down those thoughts to put them into use when writing
I am going to try these methods, I was able to get this post together because this has been something that has been on my mind for a week now. I did not post any writings last month and I do not want that to be my habit.
For all you fellow bloggers in a “rut” like me, hang in there and brain storm. The writings will come and your work will be noticed.
Blessings.

Thank you for sharing your advice. I am a bit stuck as to what to write about next but will be putting your advice to the test today.

I’m the complete opposite of you. I have so much time in my hands, but I don’t have any ideas 😦 I think the best takeaway from this blog post is jotting down any idea that comes to mind.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and just want you to know you’re not alone.

I tend to use major and minor life situations as inspiration for a blog post. I have 5 posts that I have started and are waiting to be completed so, when I am feel stuck, I take a look at those and try to finish one of them. I try not to let a month go by without something, even if it’s reposting someone else’s blog or something that is interesting from YouTube.

You have writing talent so why not use these daily prompts to motivate you … you don’t have to write them on that day but they are useful triggers for creative writing, good luck 🙂

Glad that you enjoy blogging too! Would it help to associate your blogging with something else that you enjoy like drinking tea or coffee in front of the fire?
