Every writer of every kind sometimes faces "writers' block." Every writer, no matter how talented and experienced, also sometimes writes crappy copy.
Get used to it.
But there's a tool that can really minimize those painful facts of life: Freewriting.
Read about how freewriting can help you at A Simple But Powerful Method For Getting More Writing Done (and Much Faster) at Inc.com.
Here's how to do freewriting:
- Set a timer for 10 minutes.
- Start writing. Don't stop to think or read what you've written until time is up. Just write.
- Ignore grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Nobody else needs to read what you write. It's okay if you write garbage.
- If you don't have any ideas, write anyway. If you don't have anything to say, write nonsense. If all you can think of is how annoying this exercise is, just write I hate freewriting. If you feel bored or uncomfortable, write about that.
