Writing an article doesn’t just mean putting down thoughts into words then
typing and writing it. You have to capture the interest of your readers and get
them to keep on reading. To send your message across you have to get the
attention of the reader and have a firm grasp of their interest and pique their
curiosity.
The main ingredient in baking up an article is a large dose of creativity. While
creativity may come natural to many people, some just gets into a block or
something to that effect that can drive someone crazy. Many writers have
literally torn their hair out when they get writers block and just can’t seem
to get their creative juices flowing.
Putting words into images in the readers mind is an art. A clear and crisp
depiction requires a certain flair that only creativity can provide. Similes and
metaphors help a lot, but the way an article gets entwined word for word,
sentence by sentence then paragraph by paragraph into a whole article develops
the essence of the article.
So just what do you have to do when nothing comes to mind? There is no surefire
ways to get the perfect ideas but there are easy ways to get your creative
juices flowing. No one can guarantee you of having the perfect mindset but many
methods may aid you in achieving that state of mind. Here are five easy ways for
that.
1) Keep a diary or a journal with you always. Ideas can be triggered by anything
you may hear, see, or smell. Your senses are your radar in finding great ideas.
Write all of them into a journal and keep it with you for future reference. You
may also write down anything that you have read or heard, someone’s ideas
could be used to develop your own ideas and this is not stealing. Remember that
ideas and creativity can come from anywhere; it’s the development of the idea
that makes it unique.
2) Relax and take time to sort things out. A jumbled mind cannot create any
space for new ideas. Everyone must have a clear mind if one wishes to have their
creativity in full speed. Get rid of all obstacles that can be a hindrance to
your creativity. If you are bothered by something, you cannot force your mind to
stay focused.
Try to relax every time that you can and think about your experiences and
interactions with others. Your experiences are what shape your mindset and your
opinions which could be reflected on your writings. Try to discover yourself,
find out what triggers your emotions. Discover what inspires you and what ticks
you off. You can use these emotions to help you in expressing yourself and your
ideas, with this you can grow creatively.
3) Create a working place that can inspire your creativeness. Your working place
can be quite a hindrance if it doesn’t make you feel happy or relaxed.
Creativity comes from being in a good state of mind and a messed up workplace
that causes distraction won’t be conducive in firing up your creative flow.
Surround your working place with objects that makes you happy and relaxed. You
may put up pictures, or scents, objects that inspire, or anything that can get
your creativeness cranking. A clean and well organized workplace also rids of
distractions and unwanted hindrances. With a good working place, you can work in
peace and never notice the time pass by.
4) Set the mood. Setting the mood requires you to just go with the moment or to
induce your self to feeling what makes your mind works best. Finding out what
makes you tick could help you find ways to get your creative juices flowing. Set
the pace and tempo for your mood and everything else will follow.
There are many ways to set the mood. Some writers have been known to use
alcohol, a little sip of wine to stir up the imagination. Some would like some
mood music while others let the lighting of the environment create the mood.
5) Go on a getaway and just do something unlike crazy. Letting yourself go and
have fun produces adrenaline that can make your imagination go wild. Take an
adventure or a solemn hike. Whatever it is that is unusual from your daily
routine can take the rut out of your schedule. In no time at all, your
creativeness will make use of that experience and get your imagination to go on
overdrive.
