How To Conquer Creative Block

from Mason Lee Tompkins · host Mason Tompkins

I’ve been writing very consistently, almost daily, for a couple of months and today I have very few ideas. But, I would love to give you the advice I use when I run up against a creative block. Ideas In = Ideas Out I can sit and think all day about what I want to say, but I just may not have the right angle, perspective, or the right lens to put it through today to create a full article or a full video. That’s okay! Start looking around on social media. Read some other blogs on Medium. Find things that you might agree or disagree with. Something that sparks an “oh!” or a “good, but…” in your mind. When you find something you disagree with, congrats! You just found your topic to write about, you are going to now dispel of that myth, or give an alternate take on it. If you find something you actually agree with, it can spark something else in you, a new path to run down and see what other ideas come to the surface. Don’t be paralyzed by the notion that every idea you have has to be original, because almost none of the ideas you have ever thought have been original. Ideas In = Ideas out Have some fun while you’re at it ;)
