As a professional blogger, thoughts are your commodity.
They transform through writing into the lifeblood of your blog – articles.
Having said this, sitting down to write with that blank screen can be intimidating if not a little frustrating. Too many times we just “skip it” and go on to something else.
Now, you could just go find an article written by someone else and syndicate it (of course you have to comply with whatever requirements the writer places on syndicating his or her material) but I have always felt that every time we write another piece, we get a little better at it, (I hope) and it becomes a smidge easier.
Now, I can’t make your precious gems of articles appear for you, and believe me, you have plenty to write about that people want to hear, but what I can do is help you get to the point where you are writing.
Here is a trick I use, and so far it has served me pretty well;
Each time you have an idea for an article, even just a tip (like the one you are reading right now) create a new post in the WordPress Quickie editor, and save it as a draft.
Even if all you write down is a title and nothing else. Do this for each idea you have. Each thought you have that you would like to share. Each inspiration, each word of healing, each idea on how to make something better, everything.
Then, when it comes time to write, just look at your list of drafts on the right hand side of the WordPress admin page and pick the one you want to write about. Te right one for your mood and energy level will reveal itself pretty quickly.
Do you use this method already? Do you have one you feel works well for you right now?
Please leave a comment and share it with others.

and other items than trains,planes or anything.
I know ppl who regularly claim that Starbucks Latte are their lifeblood.Makes for a good yet sad laugh.They're mostly comatose

The problem originates in Hadoop, a program that splits commands into tiny bits. When you click on Mail or Send or Reply, the code is getting scrambled. Some get the white screen; others get weird Error messages (they are told they are already logged-in at another computer even tho that is not true); others are asked to enter their password over and over. In both classic and new mail. Not everyone is affected, but thousands are having trouble.
You can not fix it.
This happened for 3 weeks during the July 2008 update. Then suddenly it worked again. No emails were lost.

Precious gems are rare earth minerals or stones that have unique characteristics. They are precious because they are very rare abd hence difficult to find. Some precious gems are diamonds, opal, amethyst, jade, etc.
Nothing will happen if they run out. They are only used as decorations or jewels by man. Definitely, their price will go very high if they run out.

If possible try to get your sleep cycle such that you are getting most of your sleep between 10 PM and 6 AM this helps the organs to regenerate at night and helps normalize the appetite. Make sure that you sleep a good 6 to 9 hours each night.
Eat a lot of raw vegetables some lightly cooked vegetables and some fresh fruit. Avoid sugar and processed food. Avoid coffee and alcohol. Unfortunately, these are probably the exact things you are craving but you may begin by replacing the coffee with some unsweetened tea. (by the way another person mentioned homeopathic tea, there is no such thing, they may have been thinking wholistic or herbal. Homeopathy is a very specific modality of wholistic care that uses tiny microdoses of a substance to drive a symptom form your body, very effective but you must get the correct remedy for your exact set of symptoms)
As for detox, psyllium hulls mixed with water 3 x per day starting with 1/2 teaspoon and increasing the dose gradually to a full teaspoon. Liquid chlorophyl in a glass of water 3x per day. Take a moderate walk every day.
If symptoms persist, see your doctor. Test for allergies, thyroid, blood sugar disorder.

How about a Ferrari 612 GTO?
After Ferrari unveiled the 599 GTO, it got people to start thinking; what if the Italian company did the same thing with the 612 that they do with all of their other models? Perhaps we would see a 612 GTO come to light.
The idea belongs to Sasha Selipanov who got his inspiration from the Vandenbrink GTO. Known as the “angry car designer” Selipanov deisgned this concept to be slightly different and sportier than Michale’s concept. He then asked his buddy, Samir Sadikhov, to provide the renderings.
We know there are zero chances to see this vehicle go into production, but it looks pretty cool and would definitely create a frenzy of flying benjamins!

hi there! great post. I do this already and I also have a running 'to do' list excel format. I make sure to put the ideas there so that when I have a spare half hour to write a post, I already have ideas to work from.

What a great idea. I have been leaving so many thoughts and may be money on the table. Each thought has to blossom into a beautiful flower.
Thanks

I use Windows Live Writer, a good and free Microsoft program , believe it or not, on my computer, to start any article I think of and make a few quick notes. Very handy.
Hi Rosana,
that is an excellent idea. I often have ideas for articles when I am out or nowhere near a PC. For this, I use the WordPress application on my iPhone, or just record a few words about it with the message recorder in my car visor. You can even buy these sort of short audio message recorders at Staples for about $20 last I checked. Might even be in the $1 stores now.
Cheers,
Ron
Hi Ron,
i have been doing a very similar thing but in notepad, you know, just writing a new line in the text file each time for an article idea.
I admit I like this better though, now to transfer all the notepad entries over to my blog I guess.
Thanks!
