Four Techniques for Getting Inspired to Write

Although I only post to this blog once a week on writing-related topics, I was baffled on what I was going to write about today.

I figured that I couldn’t be the only person who has had problems coming up with a topic to write about, so this post is dedicated to helping others find inspiration.

Four Ways to Get Inspired to Write
  1. Read about what you want to write about. One of the easiest ways to get inspired to write is to read what others have written on the topic. If you’re writing about writing, read blogs/articles/books about writing. Do a Google Blog Search to see what’s been written, and sort your details for relevance or when it was posted.
  2. Find pictures then write to match the image. I stumbled upon a cool site, a Flickr Related Tag Browser, that searches Flickr’s database and offers suggestions for related images based on tags. I found the image to the right by searching for “books.” Although my post isn’t about books or reading, it is what I used to get inspired to write.
  3. Don’t write. If you don’t quite know where to start your writing, get inspired by not writing at all. Watch television, take a walk outside, play a video game, or just clear your mind by meditating. Some of the greatest ideas for writing come when you’re not writing.
  4. Ask friends for input. On my Twitter account, I asked my followers to tell me what they do to get inspired. A big thank you to Patricia Mayo, Jttaylor, David Rosam, Melanie Nathan, Frank Martin, and Adam Snider for providing me with their inspirational tips.

Many of the above techniques will work for helping you through any stage of the writing process. Whether your stuck for an ending, for a climax, or even for what topic to write about, use a combination of any of the above and get inspired to write now.
