What possibly could I have to write about? I never was sizeably efficient at it anyway. It doesnt matter how hard I try, I just sit and stare and stare at a blank screen.

Sound familiar? Do not worry. We all have gone through this. It happens to me periodically. If you knowledge this at any point, it is a great signal that you positive need a change in creative command . Here are a few tips to help you find topics to write about and get your creative juices flowing.

I personally like to write with pen and paper. For one, I might take it anywhere. Well, o.k. with a laptop you can take it almost where ever you wish as well. But, when the battery is gone and there is not a single electrical outlet in sight, I will still be sitting there writing until I get my fill.

You periodically need to change your scenery. This always helps me. If I am at a block, I get up, take pen and paper and head out of the house. I frequent outdoor cafes when I can. The openness and fresh air helps me think. You might also just try a different part of your house.

I try to at least keep a notebook, or sticky notes somewhere within reach at every point in the day. Why? Ideas usually come to me when I am not at my desk. One of the best ways I have developed to find new topics is to spend what I call "routine task measure " thinking about recent articles I have read. Routine task measure is the time you spend washing dishes, cleaning, driving home(of course pay attention to the road here as well!), etc. Make use of this measure if you might .

Write down any idea that comes to mind. Do not worry about whether is seems reasonable at the moment. You will edit and refine later if absolutely need be. More than likely you will throw away half of the ideas you come up with. You will find however that these ideas bring out other topics that you might never have thought about.

Go to the web. I cant stress this enough. Need new topics? See what other everybody are writing about. Try www.CNet.com, or any other internet / technology or business internet site to find the new hot topics. Are you writing about hobbies? Check out the top hobby sites. Dont hesitate to use the internet and what others are doing to keep your writing up to par.
