Little Blogging Tips Series: How To Stay Inspired

Ironically I had a serious case of writer's block today. I spent the whole time trying to work out what to write about in this week's Little Blogging Tips Series post, opening a new window starting to write and then feeling like I'd hit a brick wall. Then I decided what better to write about at a time like this then how to stay inspired. Here are a few of my best tips:

REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED

Why did you start blogging? What kind of content did you originally want to create? Have a good think about why you created your blog, and the posts you have really loved doing. Make sure you're doing posts that you enjoy doing and are actually passionate about. It's easy to fall into the hole of creating content you think people want to read, but you don't have your heart in. Make a list of the posts you've loved doing and the ones that you didn't really and you'll get an idea about what to write about in the future. 

LOOK FOR INSPIRATION

Have a flick through a magazine, scroll through pinterest, look through your favourite blogs or visit a shop to get some inspiration. Why not even try taking your camera out and taking some pictures? You'd be surprised at how many inspiring things are around you. 

CARRY AROUND A NOTEBOOK - AND JOT DOWN IDEAS!

This is a really good idea - whenever I get a new blog post idea I'll jot it down in a notepad or make a note on my phone of it. Once you've got a good idea, you want to make sure you don't lose it!

TALK TO OTHER BLOGGERS

We're all in the same boat, and we all go through writer's block at some time so why not ask a blogger you know if they have any good ideas for a post. Sometimes our best inspiration comes from those around us. 

TAKE A STEP AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER 

Spending too much time in front of your computer isn't the best idea, especially if you have writer's block. Take a step away from it, and stop thinking and worrying about what post you're going to write. Just let the idea come to you naturally, and it will come to you when you least expect it. I actually get most of my blog ideas walking home from university!

GO BACK TO BASICS 

Some of the best posts are really simple. So if in doubt think about doing a tag, a list of your favourite books, films, albums etc or even a post talking about what it's like to blog. Hey, you could even do a post about the problems of writer's block. Just don't over think things! 

Hope you enjoyed this post lovelies, and found it helpful!
