I stumbled upon an interesting article – “50 Strategies For Making Yourself Work<\/a>“. It was written specifically for writers, but can easily works with any other creative profession or hobby. <\/p>\n

If nothing else, you one can change the title to “50 Strategies For Making Yourself Blog”. I remeber, back in March last year, when I changed my site to run on Nucleus CMS<\/a> I decided that I will write at least one post a day. The first weeek was pretty tough. After a couple of days during which I was inspired by the new look and feel of the site, my mind went empty. I new I had to write something, but I felt like there is no one thing in the world which is worth it and not obvious enough. So what I did was search the web for something. All sorts of ‘go the random page’ websites became my favourite. I would click ‘I am feeling lucky’ button on Google<\/a> for about a thousand times a day. Finely, I would come up with just a single link or an idea to mention.<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks days later, blogging became an interesting routine. It would take me anything from 20 seconds to 1 hour to write something. I became better. Ideas became easier to get. My writing got better. I started to get into blogging mood much easier.<\/p>\n

By now, I don’t have to put any effort into blogging at all. Jez, I have to stop myself from doing it sometimes. I can write 4 to 6 paragraphs straight off the top of my head. Without any preparation. Almost on any subject out there. My head is still a mess, but I see order appearing in there. I catch myself thinking of something. Often. My English got better both in grammar and syntax departments. My vocabulary got bigger.<\/p>\n

And… oh, I should better stop now.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
