Do you ever have a blank page in front of you? You know, where you went to do something or write something and all you have is a blank page! It happens a lot to many of us. What do you want to write about today? Are you stumped?
Or, instead of writing, just do a video instead. Ok, Camera starts and you have a blank look in front of you again. I have been writing a blog for a few years now and ever so often I have a blank page in front of me. Don’t quite know what it is I am going to write about. How do I get that idea out on paper?
If you have been in that situation I have news for you! You never have to have a blank page again.
I have a solution to your Blank Pages.
Here is a list of random places to find “blogging inspiration” that I want to share with you.
Your favorite news website.
The news site that you hate
The gossip blog you’d never admit to reading
The fan-site of your favorite TV show.
A story of how you did something,
YouTube random search for a random word. (That might be kind of fun to try to give you a kick! Funny word of the day or something)
Your Blog RSS. Reader
Your email inbox
Your email spam folder
The stack of magazines in the doctor’s office or hiding in the corner of your own office.
The book you are currently reading
Books you bought but haven’t read yet, just to wonder why you didn’t open it up earlier.

The last billboard advertisement you saw
