FOOD: Using Google Alerts
comment now!
On of the big causes of writer’s block is that the well just runs dry. This usually happens because we get so busy we forget to replenish the well by reading up on the industry, subject or whatever the topic might be.
Using Google Alerts (www.google.com/alerts) is a great way to avoid this. Simply type in a phrase associated with your topic, and you will get an alert with news and blog posts about that subject daily in your inbox, so you are constantly kept in the loop about the topic, and you can have a wealth of material to draw from when you’re ready to write on the subject.
To avoid clogging your inbox with tons of alerts, you can set up a filter to send the alerts directly to a dedicated folder, of if you use gmail, apply a tag and skip the inbox, so they are there whenever you are ready to check them out.
With this tool, you’ll never be stuck for what to write again, no matter what your subject!
