Inspiration: Where Are You?

Posted By: Saturday 2 April 2011 7 Comments

There are times when I feel like posting a new entry and blog but no matter how hard I try there is nothing which I can come up with. This is one of the reasons why I sometimes don’t post for a long time and “neglect” my blog.

I think that at some point every blogger and/or writer have dealt with this problem as he/she didn’t have any inspiration or the right  topic to write about. I mean it’s normal and only natural as you’re just too focused to blog / write so it’s difficult to finish the article or even to start with.

I tried several things such as having my phone with me to write down idea’s. In the past I even used to have a notepad + pen with me wherever I went so I could write down the idea’s. However every time when I reviewed my idea’s and worked on them I never felt to post it as I didn’t think it was “complete” or “ready” to be posted! This is probably the reason why I have about 50+ drafts which I’m going to post some day and more than thousand idea’s to blog about! :???:

So what do you usually do when you don’t have any inspiration? Or in my case if you have a topic to write about but don’t know how to start/finish it? Well, in that case this is what I’ll try to follow one or some steps here below;

  • Forget all about your blog
  • Do something else, like reading a blog, watching tv and take your time!
  • Look through the archives of your post and see if you can come up with a new idea and link it to the old one
  • And now my favorite choice: Listen to music! This has helped me a bit as it clears my mind. Off course going to the gym or taking a walk may help as well!

So what about you? What do you do when you don’t have any inspiration at all? Share your thoughts with me by leaving a comment! :wink:

    Inspiration is one of the factors that leads and motivates us to create something wonderful, something that’s full of emotion. It is with inspiration that we are able to make the impossible possible. And when it comes to writing, this is one of the roots why ideas sprout out of our minds. Inspiration can be found everywhere, it is all around us. We just have to look deeper. This is a very nice post by the way.

  4. Hi Behrad,
    everyone must have such experience. To me, inspiration comes in unintentional condition. And it comes spontaneous, so don;t think about how to get inspiration but rather to have fun for ourselves. Then the inspiration comes at the unexpected moment.
