Finding it hard writing up your blogs? Especially how to construct your sentences and how to express yourself?

If you’re stressing out like that, it means you are not really enjoying yourself. That’s when your mind goes a blank and you can’t think logically any more. And that causes more stress. 

Relax:

I know that sounds easier said than done. But it can be done. Let me try to explain: 

• When you’re an artist, galleries expect you to produce more and more paintings to sell, because of the demand from the public. This is like having ‘Writer’s block!’ Because it gets hard to think up more and more new compositions, to keep the stocks going, week in and month out. 

Let me tell you, how I’ve done it. Each day as I would set up to paint, I would do loosening-up painting exercises.  

1. I would take out scrap watercolour paper and just scribble with my paintbrush. Slashing paint on, without any idea what to paint.  
2. And not worrying or fussing about how things should look or how it would turn out. Let the `story' tell it... its way. You’re just taking to the road, on the adventure.  
3. Just enjoyed the freedom doing my thing! Painting like a child without a teacher watching. 
4. This not only loosens up you brushstrokes, it fees your mind of negativity. You’re conning yourself, until your confidence is there, and you feel you can take on any commission and its challenges. 

That’s what you can do with writing blogs.

Learn to sit down and write whatever twaddle comes to your mind. 

• Make it fun. Play with the words. Shift them around until something falls into place. 
• You will see shifting around words, first here and then there, can have so many different meanings. This is what I love about writing stories, etc. 
• Whatever it is, remind yourself this is just for fun and isn’t for the public to read. Well, not at the beginning, anyway.  
• And the more you do this, the more fluent and competent your writing becomes. 

 (And if any of it does turn out better than you think. You can always tidy it up and post it another time). 

The point is to loosen up and… 

Write stuff that you truly enjoy,

Write about things that really mean a lot to you and excites you. It makes writing more fun. And that loosens up the soul. And it makes for more fun to read! 

• The secret is to write, live and play in the moment of creation. Like it was a time warp adventure! 

Let the words flow out easily. Don’t worry about been perfect or who maybe critical of what you do. You can always tidy it, change things around or add whatever later… before posting.  

• Writing with abandoned freedom helps to put natural emotion and drama in the way you write. And people on the internet love drama and emotional stuff. 

Grammar checking:

I know not everyone can write English. But one way of getting around English grammar is to write from the heart, the way you normally think and talk.  

• It may not be perfect English, but your easy flowing jargon comes across as fun and natural. Something most people can understand and can relate to. 

Even books don’t have to be boringly perfect anymore. You can use your natural jargon and the modern way of talking. Here is a dialog example: 

“Hey, sight that?”…. This is a more modern way of saying, “See that? Isn’t that a crazy thing to do?!” 

Practice makes perfect:

As you experiment, you’ll see your grammar and easy style improves. If you don’t believe me, look back over time and see how you’ve progressed! 

But the finished article,

1. Must have logical sentence and paragraph construction.
2. Have a purpose and an easy flowing link of facts from one issue to the next.  
3. And at the end have some sort of satisfying conclusion. So that, the people reading it will feel they’ve gained something by reading your blog’s topic!
