Writing for some article writing sites is like a bland
marriage getting staler by the minute and you’re at odds whether you should
stay on or leave. It is the same grinding out of words, the same advice which
needs a freshening-up and unless you address this writing malaise you are apt
to slack off and find excuses not to write. It is true; writing five or ten
articles at a time is not easy work. You have to research your subject, garner
information no one has, put a fresh spin on an old subject, and make it fresh
and different every time. When you’re done you repeat the whole cycle – five or
ten times a day.
Things you can do to rise above your slump
·
Depending on the article, change your usual
stream-of-consciousness writing - if that is your present style – and work just
a bit harder to find that piece of information that will add to your piece.
Work the point in a creative way and put more effort into your style.
·
Research two or three different articles before
you start to write. Have a break, get a feel for the piece and write from the
heart and not from the magazine page.
·
If the writing gees – spirit - only kicks in
after lunch that is the time you should write.
·
Take a break if you start getting bored and go
and play tennis with a friend, or read a book.
·
Don’t take on more than you can chew as then you
will start to worry about the three remaining articles you still have to
research, write and deliver by a certain time.
·
If you are not in the mood for writing, don’t
write. You will only be aggravated by the subject. Read a book related to your
business or go out.
·
Try soft music in the background to stop you
from falling asleep and to kill the dead sound in the room.
·
Take a day off in the week to do your banking
and outside activities, watch a movie with a cappuccino and fall asleep.
·
Get up early the next morning and get to your
laptop. Do not switch on the news and do not get up until you have finished the
article.
