We all fall victim to writer's/blogger's block every now and again. It sucks. Sometimes you want to write everything but have no idea what to write and sometimes you have ideas coming out of your ears but no motivation.
When I'm out of ideas I like to read blog post idea posts and when I'm unmotivated I like to read through my favourite blogs and read through my old posts.
Sometimes I play writing games like the "7-second writing challenge" that Dan & Phil made. You pick a topic like penguins or YouTube and write as much as you can in 7 seconds. It is such a fun game. D&P made it for their book and reading their creations was so funny!
Or sometimes I write without thinking. Just write each word as it comes to mind. I just write whatever comes to mind. It's like a one-word story game with yourself.
I think every blogger has done a "blog post idea" post. This isn't anything new but I wanted to share my ideas with you all and I wanted to share my favourite blog post idea posts with you too. Let's kick writer's block together!
