You have an assignment, your boss asks you to write and article for the company newsletter, you\u2019re a blogger and you need to come with some content and fast, OR you\u2019re a sportscaster and your fans are asking you to post a weekly column. But\u2026 you are suffering from writer\u2019s block. 45 minutes passes and nothing at all comes to mind, and then 10 more minutes and nothing on the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Develop a format and\/or formula that works for you<\/strong> using acronyms<\/strong>. Many successful bloggers, vloggers, influencers, and YouTubers have a format and formula(s) that enables them to quickly find topic and produce content. This is not to say that the task is easy and these folks don\u2019t work hard, what I am saying is that these writers have systems makes it possible for them to produce content in timely manner, and in a reasonable amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Background:<\/strong> Come up with the background information to give your reader the context of your story, please be sure to properly footnote your references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your commentary<\/strong> This is easiest part; it is coming from your stream of consciousness. You have been thinking about this issue for the past week or month. Be careful not to make it a rant, no invective, just simply state your reaction to the situation that has been on your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Analysis of your reasoning<\/strong>: This could be a formula, or just a revaluation about how your mind goes about analyzing problems and issues. Relate this situation to other life experiences, your own or others. If your and in a specialized industry, use an acronym and fill out the word pattern. Or make up your own acronym. Say I am a sportswriter and I am writing an article about a famous sports figure who dropped<\/em><\/strong> his pads and uniform and walked off the field in somewhere in the meadowlands of New Jersey. I could write, \u201cwhen I evaluate athletes, I use my acronym DROPS<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have been talking about an acronym, but what is it. It is basically the first letter of word or phrase that when combined form a recognizable word. In this example I came up with DROPS<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
