Can Lists Save a Bad Writing Day ?
There are days when no matter how prepared you’re, the words would not flow. The muse takes time off for some reason. You can’t seem to coax it to work for you. The mood to create content deserts you.
So, what do you do? Fret and fuss and pull your hair in despair?
No, you don’t do that. As a content creator who has no shortage of self-belief, you swing into action.
You pick up a pen and start making lists. It makes you feel better because there are still words left in you to put down on paper.
When you put down a list you’re under no obligation to produce anything meaningful. You do it to take your mind off the bad start.
But then as you go about putting down a list on paper or the computer screen, you may hit goldmine and discover something that you’ve never thought of.
You begin to see a pattern emerge. The muse begins knocking on your door.
You now know you’re on the right track.
That’s the beauty of making lists. You start with nothing and, more often than not, end up with a goldmine.
But there’s one important thing you must tell yourself before you begin making lists. What is it?
You must tell yourself that you’ll be getting somewhere with your list.
You have to believe that you’ll get somewhere sooner or later.
Great post! This is a good thing to remember for those days when you just cant seem to get it together to write.
