Dear Friends,

I've started blogging to become a good writer.  I want to inspire people and make them smile and sometimes laugh.  I've written some posts.  But now I'm out of thoughts.  I don't know what to write.  Can any one give me a clue that I can follow up?

Take a look at the home page of indiblogger for some of the ongoing contests, you will get plenty of ideas to write about!

Also look around, if you have a sympethtic heart, you may come across instances of injustices happening around you. Perhaps you may get something there.

However, I am new in the Indiblog. I have to get used to it.  If I may ask, what do you find special about Indiablog group, what will be your answer.

I would recommend writing about something that a lot of people share: family, love, concerns about the future, india (at least here), social issues or even the need to connect - any of these which touches you in some way (or really, things like this, this list is by no means exclusive) - and I'm sure it would be both popular and helpful to people. A fresh take on an ordinary event is always appreciated. 

Best of luck! :)

Hey Uday!

Write about things that come naturally to you, things which you feel for.  It can be a small little thing like a boy selling flowers near the road etc.

Moreover, if u don't have any writings with u, post a picture, a doodle, a cartoon or a thought which touched you. 

You can write or express only when u r in touch with yourself. so remain in touch!

Dear Uday,

Rashmi Bansal, a popular blogger once said only blog when you feel like blogging.

Just blog because you love blogging. Rest all will follow. Initially every blogger is in such a thought phase. I believe a blog would be awesome only when the posts are posted when you feel like posting. Target oriented posts will often screw up the all lovely blog!

Happy blogging

Cheers!

If you have the true interest to write something, you can even write a book about 'nothing' !!

Naveen
from Bengaluru |

Well said dude..i've read a story..of one man who was in writers block..so that he had no ideas...but he was so passionate that he made up his mind to write something like 50 lines or 500 words or something everyday...and no crossing that limit too..n he made those collection of 50 lines a book! A book about nothing!!Smile

Raghu V N

I just felt about this. I called it 'my private rubbish'!! But, it is possible to write about nothing. If you can implement some illusions of complexities, it might get some rewards also!!

Uday

Yeah! I'm listening.  Thanks guys for your ideas.  I think when you want to write, let your brain be empty.  The things will come for sure just like this topic.

I'll tell it this way.. u r not writing an exam.. so dont press urself to write something.. just write watever..

at the max ppl will not like it.. but still there will be some loyal readers who will say.. it was a good read...and there will be some lazy ones without reading they will say..it was really interesting..and there will be some spammers..who will post their blog links..

Here are some ideas apart from the usual suggestions people chip in -

  • You come across some interesting or disheartening article on newspaper. You can share your own opinion on it by writing an article with some background research
  • You find some thing interesting and click a picture while traveling. Share the picture on your blog and make a story around it.
  • You find some inspiring article on someone else's blog. Do some background research on the topic and elaborate your opinion on the other persons's article. Make sure to have a link to the other person's blog post.

The key to blogging is reading. You will automatically get ideas if you keep reading. Some one else on the forum might have already suggested you to participate in various blogging contests people host.
