It doesn’t matter if you’re a new writer or have been at this for a while; Sooner or later, you’ll hit a spell where you don’t have a damn thing to say.

Here’s how to fix it.

Back in the day.

I used to rely entirely on conscious thought to develop a backlog of potential titles, hooks, and content ideas for my stories.

Not anymore; I find that approach to be exhausting. Particularly ever since I started writing and editing professionally.

Now, I rely solely on the power of the universe. It either wants to feed me or let me starve.

A miserable mistress indeed.

Sitting at the desk coming up with new and exciting topics to write about is a waste of time and energy.

So I hit the road, you should come with me.

Stop thinking.

Take a walk, let your mind wander. Inspiration will come to you in waves.

Take it all in, then occasionally email yourself notes so you don’t forget the magic that was sent your way.

Use these emails as your inspiration, your never-ending well of personal writing prompts.
