- Become so anxious about not having written something that you begin to think about it periodically throughout the day. The fear of underachievement must get to a point where it affects you daily before acting.
- Begin to brainstorm ideas for a post even though you are uninspired because of a lengthy period of artistic inactivity. Grasp at straws while trying to think of ideas that made sense and seemed interesting at one time.
- Start a draft of a post about one of your old ideas.
- Start and stop working on the draft several times and get distracted by things that are less important.
- Become overwhelmed by the effort of balancing work and personal pursuits. Allow this to further affect your ability to write.
- Set aside a brief period of time on your day off to write. Do not allow yourself away from your computer during this time.
- Struggle to remember the original idea which inspired the post you are working on.
- Force out an opening paragraph. Re-write the opening sentence at least three times. Think of a big word to say and use semi-colons to make sure people think you’re smart!
- Start writing a second paragraph which barely connects to the first ideologically. Follow this second idea as the main idea of your post.
- Remember to mention that this is a post that you are “working through” for the sake of “getting back on the horse”.
- Try to make jokes.
- Remember that your conclusion should relate to the way you began the post. Write a Hail Mary sentence that does a bad job of connecting all the things you talked about.
- Avow that you will write another thing this week or at least work on a short story.
- Wait at least three weeks before starting the process again.
