Focusing on the subject of your title will keep you engaged with your writing. It will help your words flow when you concentrate on the topic.
The best writing is handled in a similar fashion to having a conversation. Ideas freely develop when we carry on conversations, offer support to a friend, and even when arguing with people. So you can apply that same logic when writing articles.
I have found that when I’m alone at the computer, I’m free to let my thoughts flow. I quickly type whatever comes to mind, so I don’t lose it.
However, my fingers can’t keep up with the thoughts in my brain. Does that happen to you? The trick is not to let your brain get interrupted with proper sentence construction.
Just let it happen with run-on sentences, dyslexic-spelled words, and fragmented sentences. Then, at least, it’s not going to get lost. You can clean it up later.
The main idea is that your thoughts get set in stone — or silicone to be more accurate. Later, you can spend all the necessary time to clean up the grammar, spelling, and thoughts. Of course, that’s important to do before publishing.
Writer’s Block can be a nuisance at times. Interestingly, we never experience writer’s block when we have conversations with people. For example, when I talk with friends, I find myself coming up with ideas I can use for articles.
Thoughts and feelings come to the surface that we may not have known we had, and we can write about them later. How often have you come up with great ideas for an article while talking at a party or over dinner with friends?
There’s a problem, though. It’s ridiculous how often I try to recreate something I said at length in a discussion only to remember just a few parts of the conversation.
I’ve tried to recompose the thoughts I had expressed earlier in the day after coming home and sitting at the computer. However, it’s not the same. The flow of the conversation is lost. I don’t find it in me to bring out what I had said earlier in the discussion.
I could carry around a recorder and transcribe the stuff later. But then I’d have to consider people’s privacy and offer to let them opt out of a recorded conversation. So that doesn’t work.
The solution is to carry a notepad with you wherever you go. Or use your smartphone and make quick notes in a notepad app.
In addition, whenever I think of something I want to write about, I make notes to use in the future. And I keep adding to those notes as more thoughts come to mind.
Over several months my notes develop into drafts for the final product. In addition, I usually have several articles developing simultaneously with this method.
Therefore, when I want to publish an article, I choose one of my drafts to complete. Since much of the content is already done, I'm motivated to finish them for publishing.
Nevertheless, the final work is still time-consuming since I need to include references to show credibility to my statements. And I also notice that I may need to rearrange the content to make the logic flows better.
I often add more to the original notes when finalizing the content for a completed article. But I'm motivated to do that since a significant part of the material is done due to the notes accumulated over time.
When you have your ideas fully developed in your mind, you'll know what you want to achieve and how to get there. In addition, you realize you already have the requisite knowledge of various subjects for the potential to create meaningful content that has valuable information necessary to provide helpful guidance for anyone searching for answers online you have provided.
