For a Creator who creates and publishes content regularly, sooner or later a challenge surfaces.
You run out of things to say!
It seems that you have hit a block and you have no clue what to publish today.
Happens to everyone.
How do you deal with this?
Well, you cant start digging a well when you are thirsty.
One habit of a powerful storyteller is that she is always capturing stories around her. She would always be on the lookout for any inspiration in the outside world.
Whether it’s a coffee shop that she visits…
The grocery store…
Or even the park near her place…
And exactly how do you capture these ideas?
Have a pocket diary.
Noticed something weird about the guy with the black hat sitting on the bench?
Make a note of it in your pocket diary.
Noticed a really funny conversation between a Dad and his 4-year-old daughter?
Make a note of it in your pocket diary.
Before you know it, you have a lot of material that you can use in your writing.
Full disclosure – I am being a hypocrite. While I love this practice, I have failed to make it a part of my life. I am hoping that this email finally motivates me to carry a pocket diary wherever I go.
