Only two suggestions left now; find your zone and muse. Writers will often have an “Ah-ha!” moment when they write when all of a sudden their mind generates an interpretable version of their thoughts. This is what I refer to as “the zone.” When you enter that state of mind, the words will seem to flow from your head and onto the paper/screen. Achieving this state isn’t always easy and must sometimes be induced. This is where the “muse” comes into play. Muses by definition are what motivates and inspires us. For my purposes they are what allow the writer to help enter their zone. Of everything discussed in this blog, it is the muse that will vary the most from person to person. Using myself as an example, I find that my main muse is usually music which I frequently play as I write, but can range from anything from certain TV shows, video games, or even exercise.
Most importantly, Practice, practice, practice. Blogging will become easier the more you do it. If at all possible try to set an allotted time aside each day just so you can write. Practice will guide your hand. It will help you create a routine and the more you do it, the faster you can do it and the better it will be.
Cheers,
