I'm so having the blues right now, which probably explains why I landed on your page looking for advice. Thanks for these wonderful tips Patti.

This is pretty good advice. My only thing is that I sometimes feel strange using my blog to rant about my own personal misery. I'm another one of those people who have issues with severe depression, and some days all I want to do is stay in bed, let alone write. And when I do post random babble, usually on Facebook, I have people sending me messages asking if I'm ok. It's kind of strange…

Then again, putting a personal spin on your blog does have its advantages.

Yes, and it happens most of the time I want to write. I guess we got the idea of what to write but it's like something stuck in the the head. Yeah, I agree with you Patti. Keep the words flowing!

Thanks for the guide!

"The point is, when you don’t want to write something you should be writing; write something else. Write anything—just get the words flowing and before you know it, the blues are gone…"

I will remember your advice when I feel the blues next time.

I have had experiences in technical writing in the past and there were times when I didn't feel like writing. But I found that writing for the web, most of the time, is more exciting.

Thanks Patti for this helpful post.
