I try to plan out my blog posts at least a week in advance. Sometimes I have so many ideas the whole month fills up before I know it. Other times I feel like I might never have another good idea, just a lovely blank slate and a ton of writers block. This is why I carry around a little notebook plus my planner ( I am a bag lady ) that I fill with all of my ideas as I have them, so on the dried up you will never ever have a good idea again days I can fetch from the -your a genius Gracie days. :)
So for those days when you are feeling very uninspired here is a list of 30 fun blog post ideas
1. Your favorite book of all time and the story behind why you love it so much
2. A great DIY - furniture re-do or a fun craft you have wanted to tackle

What are some of your favorite blog post ideas? I would love to know so I can add them to my little notebook for those brain freeze days!
Thank y'all for reading!
I've only just started blogging, but I've already hit a slump. I ended up moving 6000 miles away for a work project and I had to completely change what I was blogging about. I wish I had this list six months ago. Thank you for these ideas!
ReplyDeleteI have definitely hit slumps before so I know what you mean! Your welcome! Let me know what you blog about! XO, Gracie and thanks for reading!
DeleteYou plan a week in advance! You are so together! I write when it comes into my head. Usually when I think of it I save it in my drafts and hopefully I get to finishing it (although that's not always the case :( ). These are great ideas. I would love to see more photography tips as that is my week area and obviously I could use more posts on organization and planning ahead ;)

I definitely plan in advance when I have lots of ideas but there are still those days when I am super stumped and can't come up with anything haha! I was actually thinking of doing a photography post coming up since we just got our camera in January and are still learning different things. I am all about the organization posts as well - lots of those coming! Trying to organize my life one step at a time ;)
DeleteThanks for reading Liz - loving your site!
XO,
