5 Ways to Find Ideas for Writing

You awoke at 10’oclock figuring out where the next idea might strike its cord. You don’t pay attention to the dead bolts of blocks in your head. You try to ignore the pain, and head out to your kitchen where you find a coffee mug with your name on it. Your wife has prepared it for you, because she knew you were going to have a hard day “working”. You smile, and head back to your chair. Don’t you feel cozy with that bathrobe on? Well, now that you got that smile out for “everyone to see” you can head back to work. The only question that arises now is what do I write about? Where do I find ideas? Your dog named Skippy isn’t going to bark out the ideas for you. Your wife is at work and your kids are at school. You need to get to work, because sooner or later, you will be crying up a storm of frustration. Do not worry; I am here to share a few powerful tips that will prevent you from having writers block ever again. 

1. Hobbies & Groups: What interests do you have? What clubs, groups have you joined in the past 10 or 15 years. I am sure there are plenty of hobbies, in your box of toys you have stacked away in your garage. Why not dig through them? What about joining an organization? I am sure in the area where you live; there are plenty of clubs and organizations just willing to take you in. Why not take a Karate class, and then write about what it takes to get the white, yellow and even brown belt. There are multiple things you can do with hobbies and groups. Just pay attention to outside of the spectrum, and I am sure you could find multiple ideas, if you desire to do so.

2. Magazines: Why not look through a magazine like you always do during that boring evening alone. Read a few of those interesting articles you usually read. If you found an article that speaks to you, why not do a little research online, or phone that friend of yours who knows about the subject you found in the magazine?
