Writers Block | 086

A work from home business may demand that you learn to write. Right away you may throw yourself a curve. Don’t allow it to happen, just sit down and start writing, even if it’s wrong. You won’t learn to write if you don’t write. It takes practice and it is a learning process and with today’s tools writing has become very easy to do. There are a few things to learn, but then isn’t that what life is about, constantly learning new things. Don’t let that stop you.

Learn to type, learn to use a computer, and learn to use the word processors. This can develop little by little. I learned to type back in 1948 when I was in high school. That‘s been a while ago. I have used it for the past 60 years. As for the word processor it will aid you in editing your writing. It has a spell check and a grammar check. By using that it will give you the confidence that your finished work will be grammatically correct and the spelling will be correct also. However proof reading is essential to catch transpositions that are proper words. Besides you might want to change the way you say something and can change it when proof reading. For myself I won’t compose anything unless I use the word processor.

If you have writers block, just sit in front of your computer and start typing. Your brain is a marvelous wonder of wonders and it continuously processes information. It never ceases to amaze me with all the thoughts and ideas that come to me while writing. Many times the thoughts and ideas come so fast that I can’t keep up with myself and sometimes good ideas get lost. That’s what really gets me, I hate loosing a train of thought to the past. Your mind is created like your Creators and the thing that you will love doing is creative work, so no matter what it is as long as it’s creative. Creative work is like adding fuel to a fire and poking it up and blowing air on it. You have the power within you all you have to do is turn it loose. Write something even if it’s wrong, just correct it. It’s easy to correct if you use word processor.

Do you have a hobby? If you do and you don’t seem to be able to write, go to your hobby and work on it for a while. This will also add fuel to your creative mind. Many times just a nap will do the trick. After taking a nap many times I will wake and bingo, there’s the answer to what I want to write about. Or the answer to my problem has been solved. Your sub-conscious mind is another marvelous part of the brain. It don’t know the truth from a lie and processes thoughts and ideas, even while you are sleeping. Think of your subconscious mind as a helper, it will do a lot of work for all you have to do is shove ideas into it. Good and bad ideas, it won’t care but it will process them.

Keep books handy, especially books by famous successful people. They will inspire you and be good food for that subconscious part of your brain to work with. They float around in there lying dormant sometimes for years and then surface at the most unexpected times and usually just about the time you need it. By surrounding yourself with books about successful people, the next step is to surround yourself with successful people. You may be surprised but when successful people get together they will always talk about ideas. That’s what they do best. Ideas are little breeders, they spawn new ideas. Never reject an idea good or bad, just file it away and it may spawn a real good top notch idea at some later time.

Make an outline of a project, or a book, and almost immediately you will begin to have ideas about your writing. Make a things to do list and if you don’t have things to do, I’m surprised. I never get done, my list just keeps growing sometimes faster that I can finish the list. Think of ways to get your excess work done. Think of ways to streamline your work at home business and writing. Spend some time going through the links at the bottom of this article. You may just be entering into your new home based business.
