I have a TON of article ideas, but I have writers block!!

I have found just putting the words on paper helps. Whether it is "perfect" or not doesn't matter. Just put the words down, then go back and clean it up. You will find that once you start just writing, the words flow.

I would suggest you stop thinking about writing those articles and just write gibberish or whatever comes to mind. The articles will come around in due time
The more you try to press, the worse things will be

I get like that sometimes, especially with Associated Content...not sure why? I call it the intimidation factor. One thing I do is just to "make notes" in Word, then save the document if it is not really article worthy. You can go back later and fix it up, edit the words, change the structure of the article, and so on. At least you will have an outline or some relevant points you want to cover.

I think forcing yourself when you are not ready to "write" (vs. just jotting notes down) will be an effort in frustration. If you get the notes down and want to continue, great. Otherwise, you have some information waiting for you when you are ready to write!


The problem I have is that if I don't take the notes, I may end up forgetting important points later, when I am ready to write. Writing is a fickle thing for me. Sometimes I can't wait to write an article. Other times, I can't make myself for all the money in the world. Guess I will never make it as a full-time profession! LOL

You've got some good advice so far. One thing I do when I get stuck is read. Look up something pertaining to the article you want to write and just read about it, then let it percolate for awhile. Things should start to fit together in time. Good luck!

I can relate because I sometimes just can not get it going. I think for myself it is more of a motivation thing, as opposed to a writers block. Maybe they are one in the same. I only have five published articles and I would not say they are quality articles but just simple release of what was on my mind at the time. If there was more money involved I would probably be more motivated. I do not really even know the correct way to submit the articles for upfront payment. I like the little payments to my Pay Pal for performance views, but just not motivated to create more.....not sure that is writers block or I am just lazy*smile*. Once I have a topic it seems to go smoothly.

I have the same problem!! I know there is like a goldmine there but i just can't take advantage of it! LOL! I just can't find the right thing to talk about! or should i say write! I ahve asked for ideas here on Mylot! but i still can't do it!

I have writters block so often. Thing is, once I can find something to write about, I can go from there, it is finding that topic that stumps me every time. I do okay on the page views as I refer to my AC articles in my other blogs and things... at least I assume that is where most views are coming from since I just recently started doing this and my page view commissions are up... could be just people searching for waht I have written about too... but either way... I do a little every month that way, but submitting articles.. I just can't seem to get them going.

My issue is having enough time to finish something while the ideas are still flowing. I guess if I were able to stay home and write full time without life interrupting it would be some other issue.
