If you are an internet marketer (specifically if you are using shoestring marketing techniques) then article writing is the life-line for your website. It builds credibility for your expertise, trust and also links to your website. If you are really serious about marketing, you should try to write at least one article a day to keep the traffic flowing. But, what happens when you sit down in front of your computer and the screen remains blank. Every so often, this is going to happen to every writer. It is called writer's block and the question is what do you do about it. You know that if you don't do something, it is no traffic and no links for your website. That is what I faced when I got up this morning. I look forward to and actually love to write articles. But, when the words don't come out, it is a pretty miserable feeling. Every writer has his own techniques for overcoming writer's block. Here is what I do. 1. Walk away from it. Maybe, I will run down to the local Starbucks or maybe I will just take a walk around the block. Sometimes, all you have to do is give yourself a little break. By the way, that did not help this morning. 2. Free association writing. First, you get out an old-fashioned word processor-you know, like a pencil and paper. Then you start writing everything that comes into your mind. In doing this, sometimes the writer's block cycle will be broken and you can get back to work. It works very well for some writers but, today it was just a waste of time. 3. Read something. It doesn't have to be in your field of expertise. It could be anything from the morning paper, a magazine or Kafka's "The Cockroach." It doesn't matter, just something that might give you a spark of an idea and break the block. For me today, it was Albert Camus and my mood became even worse. 4. Then, I read several articles on writer's block and that broke the cycle. Of course, everyone who writes for a living is sometimes going to put up with the dreaded writer's block disease and so that became my subject for today. My list of methods is by no means complete and when you run into this problem, there are plenty of sources to consult. You might even consider researching this problem and saving a few articles on your hard-drive. Then when the dreaded writer's block strikes, you will be better prepared to deal with it. order essays online
