Dealing with writers block

[MJ]

Late entry for post of the year right there, this really is a "just do it" business.

I've recently began working in 1.5 hour bursts then taking a 20 minute break. I seem to be able to produce pretty good work for about that long straight then i need a break and a attitude adjustment.

I don't know if any other writers are having this problem but I am uninspired. I was hoping that there would be a lot to write about but as January closes there has been next to nothing that has even slightly inspired me. I don't like rewording other people's articles just for the sake of selling something. I like to report news that I have investigated and researched myself. It has been rough. Sorry to all hoping for work from me, I just am not finding anything for this new year.

I try to stay original but yea, it can be tough. When I really need to just throw something up, I'll go through my analytics and pick a few related keywords and bang something out. Would prefer to have something groundbreaking but sometimes that's enough to get it done.

You can also crosscheck some of your analytics keywords with a google news search to get ideas. And if you don't feel like rewriting a news story, you can usually write some kind of opinion piece based on that news. Link to the news site, give a brief overview of the news story and then inject your opinion.

FWIW I seem to have gotten over the hump. Hopefully this spurs a new wave of writing.
