B-L-O-C-K-E-D!



Have u ever faced writer’s block? Don’t worry even if the answer is yes coz it is not a disease but many writers undergo maybe due to thought blockage or other work pressures. Kathy is facing it now, while Shreidhar came out of it recently. I remember Deepa had too written she had one sometime back. But this does not last long (thts the gud part) n the blogger comes back with a bang. But, really sometimes it is just difficult to pen down something very effortlessly n yet come out with the best. Some bloggers, I feel, like Keshi, Zoonie n Sayesha never suffer frm this syndrome (unlucky fellas :D). But, as Sean said tht it is not easy to come up with a post daily, it is hard to avoid a writer's block too.

But wht do ppl do when they r facing with a problem of saturation of thoughts? I m listing some points to start with n u r invited to contribute to the list...
1. Do a tag - This is the best way to overcome a writer’s block. Some bloggers only do tags n write a ‘different’ post sometimes so theirs might be an anti-writers block wing but tags can be funny n do provide a break frm the usual stuff. I hate doing tags but it’s a gud break for the readers atleast frm my mundane stuff.

2. Copy-paste from a mail forward frm the hundreds of spams we get daily. Though some such posts might be funny some sick ppl go on further to say tht “I was sitting in the toilet when this struck me, so I wrote it down”. Damn them... i mean toilets r the best place to come up with gud thoughts but i hate plagiarism

3. Take some random tests in the blog world. The word ‘tests’ frightens me so I never attempted any of those but the subjects/titles of these r hilarious. Yashita had a nice post on listing such tests sometime back. With Zoonie coming up with some more tests stuff, these r gonna be a sure hit among bloggers.

or some write such post on writer’s block itself... he he he ... nah!! :))

Yeah, I dislike tags as much as you Sudeep, but I agree they do give an easy blog update, and sometimes that's all I need to get going again.

I haven't seen any tags floating around for a while...

Keshi said...

Writers' Block Syndrome? hmmmm looked up the blogging medical dictionary and found out that it's genetic...and I did a gene-test and found out that I can never ever suffer from it LOL! I know Kath's suffering from it right now...wonder if she's in blog hospital? awww....:):) Kath u ok babez?


** Some bloggers, I feel, like Keshi, Zoonie n Sayesha never suffer frm this syndrome (unlucky fellas :D).

haha thanks Sudeep for pointing that out :):) Unlucky indeed...cos sometimes I wish I can just shut myself up for good lol!
z000nie is a terrific blogger - I can never get bored with his posts no matter how much he writes in a week. I think I havent visited Sayesha yet...I must then. Thanks!

U have given some great tips for bloggers who suffer from Writers' Block syndrome :) Tags, FWDs, Net Quizes r great ways to escape the boredom of writing heavy and cranium-eating posts hehehe.


**or some write such post on writer’s block itself... he he he ... nah!! :))

Astral said...

Hhhhmmm, Sudeep, good ideas but I agree with Vaibhav on copy/ paste net fwds.... at least tagging is smthg original.....well I hardly blog so I m yet to reach that state of mind :)
