I watch this video all the time. It reminds me of things I need to hear.
The thing about being creative is that you don’t just need the ideas. You also need to execute the ideas. That’s the hard part. That’s the draining part. But, amazingly, the more ideas you actualize, the more ideas you throw out there, the more ideas come to you. That’s why you can’t wait for inspiration.
Being creative means thinking or producing something that wasn’t there before. In that way, everything is creative to at least a small degree. You don’t have to write the next great American novel. You don’t have to paint the next masterpiece. Blogging itself is incredibly creative. Just look at all of the original content you’ve produced.
Knowing all of this, a couple weeks ago I was still hit with this massive panic that I’d run out of things to blog about. I’ve continued to produce very regular content, but I haven’t been able to shake the panic. I guess it’s just that I was riding high there for a while with more blog posts than there were days in the week, and now I’m not sure what I’ll post from day to day.
I try to remind myself that sometimes it’s easy, and sometimes it’s not, but you have to keep putting your ideas out there.

haha I love Ze. I think I’m going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day though! Good timing on the post. I haven’t been in a bloggy mood lately.
Don’t worry, you will never run out of something to blog because there will always be something new happening that you will want to write about.
Sometimes I have total writer block moments too. It’s so weird because I have so many ideas and yet sometimes I can’t act on any of them.
