Blogging can be hard work and.writer's block or not. it is a good idea to have some respite from it from time to time, it can easily become all consuming. I have more than enough ideas jotted down to last me years, my problem tends to be focusing on writing rather than research. I do think that jotting ideas and web links down as you go is very useful though. I use MS OneNote extensively for this. If I am wondering what to post I always have this to refer to to remind me of ideas I have had. Some great suggestions here Pearl and I will use some of the techniques you mention.

Excellent excellent post. I've been through the writers block and I think that mainly comes because of things going around in our lives. If you'll stay happy, you won't get the writer's block frequently but if you are sad or have something else going in your mind then you'll get writer's block as often as snow storm in antartica. Wow!

I wrote a series of articles on personal growth and financial responsibility, and had the hardest time getting through them even though I knew exactly what I wanted to say. For me it's because the topic is intensely personal, and it's tough to share the whole gestalt in words. My current blog is about Internet marketing, which seems to come much easier because I'm less personally invested in the topic. The tip about staying off the computer for a while is still critical, though. It's easy to get sucked into all the non-writing tasks that come with running a blog and being online.

Blogger's block is happen to me almost every 2 days once! :( But I happen to kick it away by some technique. Until today, If I want to write, I will know what to write and won't hit a a big block anymore. Well, hitting on a block is a daily accident in my 4 months writing experiences. Just think positively. I believe everything is going to be alright. :) calm down some nerves with yoga is an excellent idea. I do tai chi everytime I'm sick of sitting on my hot chair (my chair easily get warm and hot by my bottom energy! lol ). Squeeze out some sweats will also help our brain think faster. Cheers!

I don?t have so much time to leave comments on my favourite blogs, but... here I am, taking a five minutes break, to complete your list. But first I have to tell you something about myself: the only times when I am completely offline are the Friday evenings, when I dance salsa in the arms of a Cuban dancer. He he. (I think he is not Cuban, but when I dance I am in my moment, so his nationality doesn't really matter) So... my advice for all the bloggers would be: just be yourselves. This is what blogging is all about. Don't start posing in something you are not. If we sniff it (an we will) we'll just browse away, to a more honest blogger. Be true to your readers. Even when that writer's block comes... better don't write than giving us a crappy experience. But if you love to write, just start typing. The words will flow naturally... they always do. :) Hi Pearl,
