For a long, long time, I considered myself a great writer and that was actually a problem.

Over six years, I gathered my own loyal fan base at my own blog. I get emails from them telling me how they love my writing. I even managed to make an income out of my own writing.

But that made me really complacent and downright stubborn.

You see, I always wrote with feelings. That basically means I only wrote whenever I feel like it. And 

The good? When the words came out, I literally spoke my mind which gave my articles a very conversational and personal tone. My readers felt they could really relate to me and they also said I stood out among other bloggers and writers.

The bad? It made me come across as amateur. I hated to admit it, but I was like that. As much as writing with feeling is important, I realized you can't overdo it, otherwise you'd come across as nothing but a child who only literally did things when you felt like it. Add to that, you'd also look like a brat who gets unhappy whenever something doesn't go your way, which effectively means you don't want to learn or receive feedback.

Writing is an art form and a lifestyle. You have to keep writing, reading and learning. All three things will always combine to give you new feelings for you to accompany with your writing.

It will take some time, but be patient and you'll see how fulfilling it is.

Anyway, I found a neat article that can help with your writing. This is just a guide, but it can definitely tickle your brain to come up with new ideas:
