That said, I like a lot of Raj’s suggestions here, all though, I think writing my own obit, might be a little morbid, and writing someone else’s obit, might create some circumstantial evidence against you in that lingering stalking case that your neighbors keep getting interrogated about. . . .

But I do like the what if, gibberish, song lyrics and create something stuff. I like to code, and I like to draw out diagrams on white boards trying to fix systems, processes etc.

I’d add a couple other’s like answer the “So What” Question, try and cover why something is important.

Finally, as to creativity, beware of regurgitation. I purposefully try not to read to much stuff from other bloggers because I don’t want to fall into a regurgitative pattern or a regurgitative anything for that matter. The song lyrics “too much trippin’ and my soul’s worn thin” come to mind. Sometimes if you are covering the big news of the day, whatever it is, Iphone, gphone, daddy’s baby, whatever, you cover the same old facts as everyone else and before you realize it, you have created zilch and managed to allow a bit of your soul to create a big, boring blot on your blog.

FinallyLastly,(If someone writes Finally twice, you should probably take that as a sign that they are probably not going to tell you something really important with their second Finally or maybe consider that this second finally could be that really important finally that should not be missed), one of the great ways I avoid writers block these days is by talking to people at Utterz (not so much a plug as a fact for me). I talk to people over there, and conversations tend to work themselves into an interesting subject and before you know it, I’m writing a response that is actually an article. A copy paste or two later, and I DO write that article, publish it, then record it or something and load up the recording at utterz as a reply, or maybe even create a video or something, dropping a link to my article for anyone that wants that too. The thing is that the conversation evolves and drives the article as opposed to trying to grab an article out of the ether and hoping that it will drive a conversation. In reality, to many of us fail to grab that ethereal original thought and only end up scooping up some regurgitation off the ground with a spatula that is half melted from letting it sit too long in a frying pan full of nothing. The regurgitation falls off the sides of the spatula, splatters our sandals and caches on our socks on our feet wearing sandals, and gets all crusty and before you know it, we’re scraping dry regurgitative matter off of our socks in a Monday morning fire drill forgetting to create any damn thing at all, but pushing up against a deadline and dwindling ad revenue watching the clock in the lower right hand corner of our screen advance, hoping that skype doesn’t light up and distract us from whatever we should have been doing to begin with only to realize that if anyone actually read this comment this far, they are probably most annoyed right now, but possibly guessing that I am most deeply appreciative of the option to come in here and exercise a little gibberish like nonsense to get through a bit of writers block myself tonight befor I go watch Smallville on Tivo and see what the new Justice League is starting to look like. . . hmmm . . gotta go!

Anyways, writers block is a blogger’s worst enemy! Love the ideas!

Secondly this is a great post and I often get writers block (usually on mondays) so this is really helpful for me as it will help me break my writers block and see me writing a whole lot more content
