Day 2/5: Inspirations for writing your daily blog
Inspirations for Writing Your Daily Blog
If an A to Z list sounds too predictable –as in people might notice that you are writing alphabetically, you can always mix it up. Who said you have to start with “A” anyways? You really ought to go with the one that makes you passionate and excited to begin and not stop writing. “Take the easy throws”, that’s what my ultimate Frisbee coach always said to us; it was another way of saying “keep it simple”.
The second technique I will share with you to unlock your brain and get you writing again and often is something I call “Bibliomancy”. Bibliomancy is the use of books in divination. Simply open a book, hopefully a book that is on your topic, and start reading the paragraph that catches your eye. Using health as an example, I just so happen to have a copy of “Eat Fat, Lose Fat” by Dr. Mary Enig, PhD and Sally Fallon, President of the Weston A. Price Foundation sitting next to me. I randomly opened it to Chapter 7 on page 134 and it is talking about “Health Recovery”. I read on and find it is very exciting and it is beginning to create multiple inspirations for writing that could easily span a whole month!

Take some notes, then discard your notes so that your inspiration for writing comes from your heart and mind with just the essence of what you learned. The point is to get inspired, not report on what the author of the book you picked up wrote; although, if you do quote from the book, be sure to cite it properly.
Happy blogging!
