20 Tips For Breaking Through Writer’s Block | Taylor Davis, Independent Fashion Bloggers

I like the concluding quotation in this article, formatted like this:

“IF I WAITED FOR PERFECTION, I WOULD NEVER WRITE A WORD.” ~ MARGARET ATWOOD

But Davis begins:

So with all these wonderful, beautiful things to talk about, why can it be so hard to do? You sit down at the computer, you’ve got to have a post for tomorrow and… Nothing. Nada. You might even know what you want to talk about (summer beauty tips, perhaps?) but you don’t even know where to start. How do you lead off, how will you organize your thoughts? What will your readers like?

Her 20 tips expand on steps like these:

• Go for a quick walk.
• Write something else first.
• Don’t expect too much from yourself.
• Shelf it for a day.
