I suppose the challenge is to work out the connection from the prompt back to the aim of your blog - which should be enough to get you thinking, creating and writing again. Problogger is indeed a fantastic resource - and where this article started (part of a group writing project) Re your last point - nope!

I realised from this exercise that comments are also a good antidote to blogger's block: comments keep you in touch with your readers, give you new ideas and inspiration - they're also highly motivating! @ Toonses - good point about sticking to the point and the time you can spend/waste trying to get back to it. I'll try and pick that up in a post another time. Mind you from a quick scoot over at your site it looks like you're enjoying going with the flow and letting the stories unfold :) Hi everyone, thanks for the comments and feedback, much appreciated.

My posts all tend to go on longer than I planned, and occasionally I end up losing the point altogether! Then I have to go on to re-create a point to my post, which requires editing and thinking and then... I'm back at square one, with blogger's block again! LOL. Good tips! Thanks!

This is usually what I do when I still cant write anything whatever I do. Sometimes I tend to sleep. Or play video games. Or even just take a stroll down the park. It refreshes the mind and might give us some ideas along the way. ^_^ A nice and helpful post. ^_^ If you have time, why don’t you drop by my post: http://mobileko.blogspot.com/2007/05/snatch-top-5-tips-on-how-to-be.html It’s also an entry for the problogger top 5- group writing project. ^^ Goodluck to us all!
