I subscribed to a series of posts on how to improve your own blog. While cleaning through my email today I found one I hadn’t opened yet. What was it about? Writers block. Timely.

One of my favorite sayings about this kind of writing: it’s journalism, not literature! Churn it out to the best of your ability and forget it. Your own self-criticism is what’s stopping you. Everyone else will be both more forgiving and way less picky than you yourself ate likely to be.

As for topic: everyone wants to hear about getting hit by a car (details, aftermath, what you were thinking as it happened, feelings toward the driver).

Do it!

What, you didn’t get that in this post? That’s a good thought, though. I definitely will if sleep doesn’t help!

Explain in the first sentence this is what you’re doing, but after that, just write total stream of consciousness for like 10 minutes, and then publish it.

Seriously – even if it’s nonsense, the post will break the dam a bit. You get your disclaimer at the start so people don’t know you’re a babbling fool, and it’ll be an interesting read, too.
