Are You Having Article Writers' Block?
Last Update: December 09, 2011
A lot of people get stuck when they sit down to write an article, myself included. I find it hard sometimes to get words to flow naturally in a manner that makes any logical sense. But, I've got a huge tip for those who are stuck in an article writing rut.
- Find an existing article on the topic you want to write about. Chances are, there are millions of them.
- Read one paragraph at a time, and find the key sentence.
- Write a new paragraph of your own based on that one key sentence.
- Change the intro and/or conclusion paragraphs (usually to point to your site/sales pages), and throw in some nice formatting.
I recently used this technique at my treadmill desk blog to very quickly write an 800+ word article, and man did it save time!
Bonus Tip
Once you get the hang of it, look for some good dictation software so that you can simple speak into a microphone instead of typing the entire thing. I personally use the free Dragon Dictation for iPhone/iPad (non-affiliate link) and then email myself the unformatted text, but I hear Windows 7 (and maybe Vista?) has a pretty good built-in dictation program.
Good luck, and happy writing!

Thanks Jason. I do this often, as such i can churn out an article within an hour for a starter.
Nothing is new anymore so you can as well rephrase from a host of other articles.
Good one!
