Where Does Your Blogging Inspiration Come From?

Considering that I'm a blogger who writes anywhere between 10-20 posts on any given day, there are times where the well runs dry. And when it's dry, it's really dry...I mean like bone dry.

So, what do you do when when you're thinking of topics to write about but only see sage brushes?

Look for inspiration.

It's everywhere.

It's in a passage from a book. It's in music. It's in movies. It's in other posts. It's in the news. It's everywhere.

You just have to consume enough content throughout your day and riff off it in some way, shape or form. It doesn't take too long to write that riff-type of post.

Just look at what I did here in just over 100 words. 

The point?

Look for inspiration in the smallest doses and get that idea out of your head and on to the screen in a few paragraphs.  That's all people have the attention span for anyways.

Don't write War and Peace. Just write.
