My Aha Writing Moment (aka My DUH Moment)

Aha Writing Moment: Throes of Creation by Leonid Pasternak

This will be a pretty short post, but I had what was somewhat of an aha writing moment the other day. Really, it was a DUH moment as it was something I already know but wasn’t doing.

Lately, I’ve been having a hard time coming up with blog post topics. It wasn’t until I sat down to read a bunch of marketing articles over the weekend that I realized why.

I read about ten articles that I didn’t have time to read the week before. Within minutes from reading, I came up with a handful of ideas for blog posts. And it hit me. Duh. I wasn’t coming up with as many blog topics because I hadn’t been reading as many articles. So simple.

Articles aren’t my only inspiration as books and podcasts are also big. But after it hit me, it all made sense that that was the biggest cause of my writer’s block. Between the variety of articles and the different viewpoints, they definitely get me thinking.

So that’s it. Nothing earth-shattering. Sometimes you don’t realize how a change in routine impacts other areas. Mostly because you don’t think about it (like I didn’t).

What aha writing moments have you had? What did it lead to? As always, thanks for reading and please share this post with your friends.
