A Blogger’s Block is Bad for Your Reputation. Learn How to Improve

The worst thing that can happen with a blogger is losing loyal readers on a continuous basis and not understanding why. When this happens, a writer knows somewhere in his heart that the words he is delivering are not as inflaming as they earlier were. They have lost their magic, creativity, and punch.

That state induces anxiety that further causes a blogger’s block. I have been working for a website development company as a blogger for almost one year now and the block has made several attempts to hit me as well.

Unlike other writers, I try not to let my anxiety drive my creativity and work towards a dead end. Instead, I have found, experimented, and invented a few ways to shield myself when a blogger’s block appears. Undoubtedly, it’s rare. However, if you don’t tackle it right when it appears, the size of it grows bigger and bigger.

1. Too Much to Take Care of

A blogger’s life is comparatively slow going than other professionals such as sales and management. Nevertheless, at the peak time, the workload becomes too much daunting. Slowly, motivation converts in anxiety which kills the creativity.

To tackle such a happening, the best thing a blogger can do is to break down his tasks into a number of manageable and then begin with the most important one.

2. When The Mood Becomes an Enemy

If taken seriously, writing is a tough task to accomplish. Sometimes it needs hours of contemplation, minutes of alone time, and seconds for some idea to hit the brain in a flash. But what when you are completely out of your mood and still have to take care of certain tasks?

When that happens, keep doing your writing as a job. Understand, that not all your writings have to be equally creative as long as they do the job.

3. Chasing Perfection

There’s no doubt in every writer wants to be the best, loved by their readers, and respected in the community. And to secure that place, some of us begin to wildly chase perfection. Perfecting a sentence for one to two hours sounds reasonable when you are a celebrated writer with no constraints such as time and money. But when you have to write 1000 to 2000 words to write in a day, that becomes a luxury you simply can’t afford.

One of the renowned author - Margaret Atwood once said that if she would have waited for perfection, she would never be able to write a single word. Got the point here?

No matter if you are a web developer or a writer, a block can kill your creativity without a prior notice. The easy way scientists suggest to get rid of a creativity block are going for a walk, removing distractions, changing the perspective, and listening to music.
