That Challenging Writer’s Block…

When the words won’t flow, we beat our head against the wall. Like a Gorged shadow, it defies. We mourn, cry, feel sad, down, and lack  motivation. True for most of us. Sally Hogshead has a 21 tips series that she shares. She recently shared a piece entitled 21 Juicy Ideas for Fascinating Content. Of the 21, I found 13 personally inspiring that I intend to Saintly put into action. Here I’ll share:

1. Start with information, then add insight
2. Go on a rant
3. Ask a provocative question
4. Write about something for the first time. She calls it give First Dibs
5. Give an unexpected gift
6. Critique your own brand (or yourself)
7. Educate people about a potential problem
8. Ask for opinions
9. Give a behind-the scenes glimpse (i.e. show us a new side of yourself so we understand who you are)
10. Find the Good (spotlight customers, employees or the competition…yikes!)
11. Identify our secret hopes (share that you understand what we aspire to become)
12. Describe anything that fascinates you (share why)
13. Dare us (your challenge us to take one step outside your comfort zone)

I find these content creation tips a thrill, and will try to follow those I have selected in creating my own content in the next few weeks. What about you? Anything sparks your interest?

Do share.
