You’d just rather do anything in the world other than work on your writing project

Avoidance and procrastination: Sometimes we go out of our way to avoid a difficult writing challenge.

Eat well, exercise, and drink plenty of water. Schedule time for rest and relaxation. Don’t run yourself down.

A Few, Final Writing Tips for Combating Writer’s Block

if you have two projects going, you can rotate back and forth to maintain your interest in both.

Get advice from other writers. Often, they’ll see a solution where you see no way out.

Writers still concentrate too much on the text and not enough on formatting and presentation. Making the content you create readable, portable and memorable is what will gain success.

The other thing that I think was important was commenting (with links) on other content.

I believe in 90-9-1 participation inequality. Comments are the area on a piece of content where the 9 (contributors) and the 1 (creators) are most frequently found. Those are the people I wanted to connect with because I had a better chance of them carrying my content to other places. And they did.

Social media is a key factor in SEO and Internet marketing for businesses and individuals. You rock at social media, sharing across multiple platforms and gaining reach. Social media can be intimidating and time consuming. What advice do you have for managing individual as well as business social accounts? Well you hit on the big issue; it’s time consuming and most people don’t want to invest that amount of time. So that’s the first thing. You can’t half-ass it and expect to do very well. One of the things I try to do is make my content on these platforms consistent, readable and memorable. On Twitter I decided to use a convention for the vast majority of my tweets.

Regardless of what time I work (shift work), I wake up at least 3 hours prior and like clockwork, 1) I brush my teeth, 2) make breakfast, 3) sit down at my desk, 4) check emails, 5) check in on my social connections and finally 5) after stretching my legs for a moment, I write on cue for at least two hours.

ake note of the things you do consistently every day before and after work.

Create a space of time within your current daily rituals for writing every day. Make sure it’s at a time of day that works best for you.

I highly recommend creating a writing sanctuary for yourself, somewhere you only go to write, and therefore, your mind will associate being there with writing.
